    You can reroute via an external gfx card but wouldnt advise so...

    It usually costs a lot of money to make big changes to a laptop, you tend to be better off buying a higher spec one to start with.
    HD and memory upgrades are usually fairly simple.

    For more flexibility a tower would make sense.
