    Like the title says I just got a 1502x and wanted to know if the video card is upgradable to something like the 555gt. I think this is the perfect laptop in every way. Best screen / speakers around so prefer keep this and upgrade over buying a lesser quality system with better stats (like the asus g74sx I just returned)

    No, the Video Card is soldered onto the board and cannot be removed. Additionally, the BIOS is not configured to accept/work any GPU except for the 520M & 540M. It would be nice if you could :)
