Most of the companies don't offer support for laptop vidoecards anymore.
Supported Graphics cards
- ATi Radeon 8xxx, 9000, 9200, 9500, 9550, 9600, 9700, 9800, x700, x800, x850, x1300, x1600, x1800, x1900

As you can see no support for laptop cards or integrated graphic cards.
It's a trend that started about two years ago and now is reaching its peak.
Most of the time the laptop graphic cards or the integrated graphic cards are lagging behind the standalone graphic cards. Most of the time the laptop and the integrated versions are stripped for most of the chipset performance.
So either buy an outrageous expensive laptop or just go for the desktop PC that can be easily upgraded. Laptop upgrades are just that expensive that they aren't a solution.Also with the actual trend of not supporting laptop videocards and integrated video cards, the laptop goes back to its original purpose: a tool for the traveling businessmen or for learning.
