    I'm reading that most laptops cant' upgrade the graphics card, but Alienware's can.

    Is this true or false?

    I'm buying a laptop online today so I gotta know >.<

    Thanks guys

    say if i buy the card separately, is it easy to install by yourself? i mean,im not a laptop expert, not even close to knowledgeable on this thing. Do you think i can do it? provided a step by step guidance? :confused: coz im thinking of grabbing the m15x with 260m as i cant wait any longer for the m15x to come with 5870 but i would want to upgrade it later,so what do you think?
