I currently am using a laptop with a shitty stock GPU. I've been looking around for weeks trying to find a site that sells mobile GPUs and no luck. I'm wondering if it is even possible to upgrade the graphics portion of a laptop and if yes, where would I be able to buy the GPUs?

Not likely. You didn't provide enough information for us to give you a definitive answer.

Yea I have found most of those sites, but keep getting an unsure answer. Some say yes, some no. I have an Acer Extensa 5420-5687.

Depends on if you bought a laptop that is designed to be customized. Some ASUS laptops can be customized like that, but for the majority of the laptops, the answer is no, as the GPU is part of the board.

What was your rationale for proposing such a thing?

Well then I'm going to assume my isn't customizable because the chances are low. Which sucks.
