I assume you mean an Ideapad? I am aware of a "Lenovo Notepad" laptop.

The answers are no and no. There's no GPU which can have its VRAM upgraded and the GPU is soldered to the motherboard. Very few laptops -- typically very high-end ones -- are practical to upgrade outside of hard drive and RAM. You essentially need a laptop that uses MXM GPUs, but most do not, including yours.
