    Most of the laptops have on-board graphics cards, meaning they're a part of the motherboard, and if this is the case for the model you want to buy, you cannot upgrade your graphic card at a later time.

    Go for a Intel Core 2 Duo or better, and at least 4 GB DDRAM and your movies should play fine on any recent graphic card.
    Your movie watching experience depends mainly on the source of your content. If you'll play a pirated CAM version of the movie the quality of the image won't change if even you have the best graphic card.

    But if you want to watch 3d movies on your laptop you should look at asus republic of gamers line.

    If you want to add graphic card on laptop, that impossibel, cause most laptop use graphicard on board. You should buy portable PC than you can add the latest graphic card on it.
