    Hey guys, I was planning to buy either this or an NP8660. Though this thing only comes witha 9600M GT hile the Sager comes with a 9800M GT. The 9800M GT triples the amount of cores that this HDX has.

    Is there any place that I can get a 9800M GT to place into this HDX?

    Notebook graphics cards are never upgradeable unless they use an MXM slot; MXM slots are extremely rare, though.

    Wouldn't the sager look uglier and cost more?

    I have no idea how a SAGER looks like in person, but my dad owns an HP and I love the design of it.

    Is there a place where I can get an HP paint job for my notebook?

    Not really; the Imprint finish isn't a paint, it is molded into the plastic.
