    I guess the heatsinc would need to be changed for a future upgrade?

    Also ships with 180w psu, which seems small for the 9700?

    With the base screen would you get optimus support for graphics switching? With this what do you think battery life would be like doing web browsing and video playback?

    Thanks

    You'll probably get better answers in another forum. This is the "legacy" (~2010 and older) Alienware forum
