Latitude E5440 additional graphics
Hello,
I bought a new Latitude 14'' E5440 with integrated Intel HD 4400 graphics. My question is (because I haven't opened my laptop) is there an option (or space) to add an additional GPU such as NVIDIA Ge Force GT 720M (I have seen configurations of E5440 with it), and will I be able to use the GPU's full potential while playing?
Thanks in advance.

You cannot add a GPU - the nVidia version uses a different system board with the nVidia chip soldered to it. While you can replace the mainboard, doing so will (1) cost you your warranty, and (2) be exceedingly expensive, since you will be replacing both the mainboard AND the processor -- the processor is soldered to the board).
If you need the faster video and the system is less than 21 days old, call Dell and arrange a return and purchase the upgraded model. There's no practical way to upgrade what you have.
