    Hi everyone I am about to buy a GT60 MSI Dominator as I need a laptop and can't really wait for Maxwell and getting a great price 1100 with 4810mq and 870m, as I will use for college and gaming.
    The question I have is I know the gt60 is upgradable GPU but will it be possible to put in Maxwell as This GPU will cover me for high/ultra at 1080p for about a year and then just buy a Maxwell gpu instead of buying a whole new laptop.
    Thanks in advance
    Cathal.

    The 870M is a great GPU. It will definitely last one year.

    Depends if there are bios compatibility issues.
