    Looking at the new HP range of laptops and I like the look of the DV6-2030 with the ATI Radeon™ HD 4530 Graphics Card, would it be possible for me to upgrade this GPU later?

    HP usually do not provide for upgradable GPU's unless you are willing to replace the complete motherboard and even then you wont be able to upgrade to any GPU except for the one which HP offers for the dv6 series; which is the HD4650.

    It was the 4650 I was thinking about, shame its not on any of the UK DV6 models.
