    So I had the case off my Studio 17, and noticed how accessible the ram and hdd's are, if I were to ever upgrade.
    Do you think the video card could be upgraded at all. Just seems like its the biggest limiting factor in using it for games (which I do rarely). I doubt this is possible, but thought I might ask

    Nope it is soldered to the motherboard and you would have to replace the entire thing for an upgrade should they change the video cards later on.
