Well, I have a dell N5010 with these following specifications

Core i5 m460 2.53 Ghz ~ 2.8ghz Turbo Boost
8gb DDR3
1gb Ati HD 550v Dedicated Graphics Card

Since I upgraded from 2gb Ram to 8gb, I don't know what more can I upgrade.
I have Plenty Hard Disks But Only thing left for upgrading is Graphics Card.

I want to know IF I can Upgrade the Graphics Card by replacing with Some other graphics Card or Not ?
Is it good for laptop if I upgrade the Graphics card from the Default one
Which Other Graphics Card Can I have ?

Is there anything else one can upgrade in a dell N5010.

The N5010 has a soldered GPU, there is no upgrading period. Nor can you do eGPU as the N5010 does not have an ExpressCard slot. The 550v = 5650 Mobility, which should provide decent gaming.
