    i'm looking at the sager np5790 and I was wondering how hard it would be to upgrade the gpu to a dx10 card when the time comes and also if I would be able to put whatever card comes out after the 8700 in it as what i'm hearing about the 8700 isnt sounding to good and I plan on doing some dx10 gaming down the road

    thanks in advance

    It has Clevo's MXM-IV which allows for video card upgrades like high-end DX10 but you have to find one that fits thermally(heat/watts). Hopefully its get upgraded/refreshed with the 8800m but we wont know for sure untill its official.

    thats what I was hoping but how hard is it to upgrade cuz I would just wait but I need the laptop for college in mid september and that would be helpful if I could get it with the 7950 for now n go off to college n upgrade when the opportunity presents itself
