No, gpu is soldered into motherboard on all notebooks. However there was a news of some work being done by Asus on this matter. You can read about it further here.

With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.

There are a few higher end gaming notebooks where the card is upgradeable, but nothing like the R60e

Well, I doubt Lenovo would think about this expectation from it's users as thinkpads are merely business oriented machines.
