So I am looking to buy a laptop and i plan on upgrading the graphics card to an nVidia card, but when I try looking for one, I am asked what size graphics card I need. What is the size of this graphics card so I can upgrade my laptop? this is the card: AMD Radeon HD 7640G Discrete-Class Graphics

First the 7640g is not a discreet graphic card. It is an APU. Processor and graphics chip in one die.
The only way to upgrade it is to change the processor.
Very few laptops have graphics card that can be easily changed.

According to this description, it is a discrete class graphics card. Is Wal-Mart wrong?

Advertising is very deceptive.
It performs like an entry level discreet card.
But the wording, Discreet CLASS Graphics is the key.
