No you can't, because the graphics chip is integrated into the MacBook's ~$600 logic board.

Pretty much every laptop since the history of laptops has had non-upgradable graphics.


The only solution is to buy the best graphics you need/can afford at the time and then when your needs change, upgrade your notebook.

yeah but can you imagine if they did make it where we could upgrade the graphic card. Just imagine it . Apple could say they were the first to make A laptop totally upgradable and user friendly..wow what A wonderful Mac world it would be..

No, that wouldn't. We'd get PCs which is not "soo nice".

Doubt it seeing as now they're actually getting harder to upgrade.

There are many PC laptops where you can upgrade video cards but none that I have seen in the mac world.

It wouldn't be a Mac world. Apple is opposed to upgradeability and interoperability on principle.
