It has a video card. Its the intel integrated extreme graphics and it is un-upgradable. Also, they are very slow and dont offer many features or quality settings. If you plan on doing any gaming or even work with a projector/external monitor your minimum should be the 5160. If you do moderate gaming check out the 8600 with the Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo or the 9200 or XPS.
The 1150 has no video card socket - the video is part of the chipset and is not upgradeable.
If you want an upgradeable card, look at an 8600 or XPS. And at that, you'll be limited to what Dell offers, since the cards are not off the shelf parts.
Among the current Dells, those with non-upgradeable video are the 1000, 1150, 600m and 700m. The 5150, 8600, and XPS have separate video cards.
