Video cards that are compatible with my laptop?

I'm looking online for a good graphics card for my laptop, specifically for gaming.

I found one that's pretty nice and affordable, but I'm not sure if it's compatible, as I do not know what requirements to really look for.

Here's my laptop:

The card I'm interested in:

So, if this is not compatible, can you please tell me a few that are. Thank you.

    You can't change the video card on a laptop. They're built-in. Sorry. Video cards are only for desktops.

    Yeah you can't upgrade the card like AR2 mentioned. That card you linked there is for desktop computers only. In fact the only thing you can really upgrade for games is your RAM.

    Laptop video is part of the main board and is not upgradable.

    Apart from RAM and the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) laptops "Are What They Are"

    There is no upgrade path.

    Sorry to have to tell you that.
