    There is no graphics card in my laptop. I would like to have one in it. I inquired about this. But everyone says there is no external graphic card support for laptops. Is there any way to add graphics card to the mother board?

    I'm assuming this if for gaming purpose:
    Short answer: No. Get a PC or get a gaming laptop.



    For most of the laptops, the graphic card is built into the motherboard, you can't upgrade those without changing the whole motherboard.
    For some laptops that have dedicated graphic card, the graphic card can be swapped (but typically hard to find, and expensive).

    Multi monitor purpose, that's a different story.

    Thank you, as you said I am looking this for gaming purpose. Also some software requires graphics card support for better performance. I hope this external video card may be helpful.

    It is not guaranteed to work, and not all laptops may be compatible.
