Helpful
What you can upgrade is RAM or HDD.
With more RAM notebook will have better performance in general but I dont know if this will help much for online gaming.

Correct
Hi

If you want to use the notebook especially for gaming then I would recommend purchasing an notebook with an good graphic card.

The notebook graphic card cannot be upgraded… this is not possible…
Therefore you will need a new notebook if you want to play some new generation games which require good graphic card.
