    I had a M1730 and it was having troubles with GPU, DVD and keyboard. This is the third time the tech was here so they called me and offered an M17x R2 or full system parts replacement for my M1730. So,basically I will go with M17x R2 but I was wondering if there are any chances for any new parts coming soon like CPU or GPU upgrade so that I won't have to upgrade later or there are no chances any time soon. If there is some news about those, then probably I will hold my replacement and just use my broken M1730.

    Thanks Guys!
