    Hi guys, im planning to buy a m15x, since i live in spain, the i7 920xm costs around 1200 euros, which is a lot and a rip off, i was wondering if i could get the cheapest i7, and then buy the 920xm from ebay cause ive seen ones for 400 euros and replace it by myself. is that possible? is the cpu soldered to the motherboard? Thanks a lot!
