I bought a macbook pro thinking I could change the graphics card. It turns out its "not possible". How would I go about this?

It's a laptop. It's pretty much impossible. And by pretty much, I believe they're more than soldered to the motherboard. If somehow you managed to remove the graphics without fucking your mac up, have fun finding one that will fit and has correct drivers installed on your mac.

You can't.... The only Mac made for hardware changes is the Mac Pro.

You could always buy a PC and install OSX. You know, like getting decent hardware instead of Apples $2000 of non-upgradeable shit.
