Upgrading a Laptop's Graphics Card

Hi, I was wondering if anybody had any insight into whether or not the ATI Radeon HD 4250 in the HP Pavilion g6-1014sa could be swapped out for the ATI Radeon HD 6850, or possibly a higher end card with a higher benchmark?

My area is not laptop hardware and therefore am seeking advice before I purchase anything, but I need a laptop that can eventually contain the 6850 graphics card, I can't afford a laptop at the moment with one but would like to know whether it's worth buying this laptop as a current use and upgrade it at a later date?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
 
Swapping out a GPU on laptops is not like doing so on a desktop Thomas as the graphics chip is integrated, in other words soldered to the motherboard.

If you are going to get a machine then get one that has the ATI 6850 already in it.
