    Hey I'm sure this question has come up already in the past, but why don't Asus's gaming laptops, specifically ROG rigs, have an option to upgrade the GPU? All of Asus's laptops that I've seen for sale only come with a 560m or a 660m GPU. Is there a power supply issue? Have I not looked on the right websites? I'm really curious because I've really been impressed with Asus's workmanship on its laptops, but the GPU is terribly underwhelming.

    Thanks

    Asus always uses mid-upper tier GPUs for their gaming laptops. They do not focus on the extreme high end on the laptop side.
