More thann 3 quarter laptops cannot have there graphics card changed saddly. However, there are people out there who has a kit which allows you to hook a graphics card to a device and the device to go into your laptop. I would not recommend doing so.

Laptops have the graphics chips soldered directly onto the motherboard, to save space. Unfortunately, during fault finding, reference is still made about your 'graphics card', assuming the system is a desk top. Repairs to a laptop graphics system, involves re-flowing the solder on the motherboard. Something which requires expensive equipment beyond the average repair shop.

Can you add a graphics card to a laptop by replacing a laptop component like the wifi card or hard drive etc. I have a Toshiba l855 with integrated graphics?

The straight and simple answer is no. Laptops are not akin to desktops in which they can be upgraded as one wishes. The integrated graphics in your Toshiba is the best you will get from that machine internally. The only other option you have is an external video adapter which attaches through USB but you will not get high-performance graphics out of that to a level at which you can play a game, for example. If you want a gaming laptop, then you need to get a gaming laptop.
