Okay so I know this is a fairly old laptop with perhaps not the best specs but I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the video card that comes standard with it?

The card is an ATI Radeon IGP340M

Thank you for any help you can give :)

Hi Jack, unfortunately it's not possible to upgrade the graphics solution at all in a laptop whether it be, in your case, from an integrated solution, or from a dedicated card.

Asus are supposed to be releasing an external pci-e x1 card that just slots into a laptop's expansion port. But I've yet to see a confirmed release date.
