I want to install a better graphics card in my laptop. I currently have an Intel UHD Graphics 620 and would like to install a better one, such as. The mx150.

Is that possible or do you have suggestions which graphics card I can take synonymous which is quite cheap?

In addition, I found no link, where I can buy this graphics card. Can you help me?

Unfortunately that is not possible. The UHD Graphics 620 is a graphics solution integrated into the CPU, which unfortunately you can't swap.

So is not it possible to improve the graphics a bit? Or are there other ways how to do that

If you have a Thunderbolt3 port, you can use an external video card. But probably it is cheaper to buy a new laptop.

A laptop is not a stand PC. In most common laptops, all components are firmly installed and can't be easily replaced as with a PC. In the meantime, many models can't even upgrade the main memory.

Laptops offer no way for it.

Only very few devices have a replaceable graphics card which has been plugged. However, this can only ever be swapped for the one the manufacturer intended… Usually the same again.

You have only one iGPU anyway, because you can't do anything.

Or a tower PC.

Small addition, Nvidia has with Max-Q a design for graphics cards in mobile devices. These can actually be exchanged relatively easily.

Well graphics card on the laptop is a very difficult to build. Better it would be a desktop PC, then it is much easier with retrofitting.

Because especially a stronger graphics card needs more power, and therefore the question is whether your laptop has sufficient power for graphics card.

So to upgrade graphics card on the laptop is usually not worth it. I'm sorry. But maybe there's an eGPU external graphics card where you can connect to the laptop. Something has made Apple synonymous for Macbook to build an external graphics card for Macbook (called eGPU by Black Magic) and perhaps you can find so synonymous for Windows laptop, the graphics card is exchangeable. But there you have to remember that even very good graphics card is not cheap, and can cost up to 1000 euro. The middle class graphics card (like GTX 1050 Ti) cost about 150 euro.

In 99% of the laptops you can't install a graphics card later. For the space, the power supply and cooling is not enough.
If your laptop has a Thunderbolt port, then an e-GPU would be an option. However, I advise you against it.
