The only upgrade is to the ATI 4570, which is the upgrade option for this model. Like all notebooks in its size range, the video, whether integrated or discrete, is not a separate card - it is part of the mainboard. So, you would need to replace the mainboard - expect that to run $400 or more - and you will lose your warranty in the process.
You would be better off selling the system and buying a new one. Consider your needs for the duration you'll own the system, as whatever you do buy will be similarly expensive to upgrade - no matter which manufacturer you buy from.
