Does it have a PCI-Express card slot?

Before that, never heard of a Laptop that can upgrade the graphic card, without the usage of PCI-E cards. Not sure if there were a miniPCI graphic card sold on the market. (There are external VGA output cards via PCMCIA) Usually the Graphic Chip for a laptop is bonded onto the M/B, and thus a laptop, doesn't have a free PCI nor AGP slots. (The new ones with PCI-E card slot, yes, but probably no on the older ones.)

miniPCI: Usually used for: WiFi / Ethernet / some TV Tuners

It's a laptop so it won't have a PCI slot. It will probably have a PCMIA slot but you can't buy a GPU for a PCMIA slot and if you could it would be worthless.
