I just purchased a new computer, the Sony VAIO L Series Black All-In-One Touch Screen Desktop Computer - VPCL213FX/B. I was curious if it was possible to upgrade the video card in it since it seems more like a really big laptop then a Desktop. The computer has a Intel® HD Graphics card in it. Could I put a gaming video card in it and play games a little better? The higher models come with the NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M. Thank you for the help!

With laptops and all in ones, its basically impossible to upgrade the video unless the motherboard get replaced. Thats why you really need to do your homework before you buy. You need to figure out what you will be doing with the system and then make sure it has decent enough hardware to do what you want it to do. So basically you are screwed in this situation.

^ Agreed, can't upgrade those almost ever, i've never heard of it being done, and if you really want to know then pop it open and try to find an open socket, but even the 540m i believe is made into the motherboard or has a special socket and you can't really buy them anywhere so basically, no upgrades man
