So I want to get an oculus rift, but my laptop's graphics card isn't powerful enough. Is replacing a graphics card on a laptop easy or do i have to get a rig instead?

Unless you can set up some sort of eGPU setup on your laptop it's probably best to just get a rig. You can't (that I'm aware of) replace a laptop GPU.

Some high end business laptops have replacable MXM graphics cards, but you probably don't have that.

MXM is expensive. eGPU (external GPU) requires a separate container and Thunderbolt 3 support — and the GPU itself.

But both are the only realistically valid option you would have to come close to any kind of "using other GPU apart from the preinstalled one."
