    Hey guys,

    I currently have a 4530s with a 6490m dgpu and 2.2ghz i7. I haven't been able to find anyone with the same computer take it apart but I was wondering if I would be able to put in a better GPU inside for on the road. I know cooling would be an issue but I want to know if it's possible.

    Thanks!

    Look for the repair manual in HP website. There is parts list, if GPU is a circuit board of it's own then it's replaceable (not saying you'll find anything better that works). Most of the time GPU is soldered on the motherboard, I just don't know for sure about that model.
