    I am considering on purchasing the Hp Envy 15, however I was wondering if these componants are upgradable.

    Is the cpu upgradable to Arrandale when it comes out?
    Is the gpu upgradable mxm type, so I can upgrade to ATI 5000 series?

    If anything, Arrandale will be a downgrade. But no you most likely won't be able to upgrade since a new chipset is required for the integrated graphics on Arrandale to work. From HP's past line up, I'd say chances of upgrading GPU is not looking that great.

    I'm also thinking of purchasing an ENVY 15, and I'd be interested in any impressions current owners have, positive or negative.

    Thanks,
    Mike
