    I wanna buy a e1705 from dell outlet. Some cheap notebooks does not list the graphics card and someone told me that is the intel integrated card. So Can I upgrade the card to 6800 go or 7800 go??
    I really worry about this problem since some guy buy the machine with x1400 which cannot be replaced with 7800.
    so maybe the integrated card version is also not upgradable. I search the dell website without finding the answer. Any help is appreciated.

    I think he meant can he upgrade the card while configuring the new system he's about to buy from Dell...

    If so then yes, you can. The best thing you can get is a 7800.
