    I have the laptop in the title...

    From what I know of recent Asus laptops (and what I think I can see in the ram slot area), I think that it uses an MXM video card, which should be upgradeable...

    I was wondering if

    A) anyone could confirm that it does use a MXM, and if it does what revision?
    B) anyone know of a disassembly guide for that series? I'd rather not muddle through it if I dont have to...


    Thanks

    Even if it's MXM, the BIOS would not support the card.

    Why wouldn't the bios support the card?
