Can I upgrade my Graphics card for my MacBook Air?

Is it possible for me to upgrade my Graphics card on my MacBook air?

I want to play games on my MacBook that require me to have better graphics for a better experience, so for that I need to upgrade my graphics card.

If it is not possible to upgrade my Graphics card on my MacBook air, is there any accessory or equipment that allows me to get better graphics or connect to a graphics card?


My MacBook air specs:

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015)

Processor 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB


Thanks in advance

MacBook Air

Hi,


No, it is not possible to upgrade your internal graphics card as it is soldered to the logic board.


It may be possible to put together various components to create an external GPU, but it would be ultra complicated and expensive: you'd be better off buying a new Windows computer with a proper GPU. A couple of ideas to demonstrate what I'm talking about.
