    If one purchases a Z70VA now with a Radeon Mobility x700, is it possible to replace it with the x1600 when it is released?

    Thanks

    Nope.

    The x700(And most laptops and their GPU's in the industry anyways) have their video card soldered onto the motherboard.

    Theoretically, one *can* modify it...
