2) do they make a upgraded graphics card for this laptop?? or something that works better??

Unfortunately your laptop appears to have a soldered CPU and GPU which doesn't allow for upgrades to those components.
This is the case with nearly every laptop on the market with the exception to Clevo systems.

Things you can upgrade are the RAM, Drives (such as SSD/HDD), wifi/bluetooth card and the screen.

I wasnt able to find an upgrade for your wifi card as none of the spec sheets I looked at show which mpcie type it is.

I did find however a backlit keyboard replacement.
