    Will the MS-1039 notebook feature a pci express upgradeable video card (I'm assuming axiom?)?

    Is the ATI® RS 480M + ATI® SB 450 chipset in the MS-1039 decent and reliable? I don't care about little differences between that and the Intel 915, just as long as it's reliable, performs well and there are no glaring problems with it.

    Finally, will the MS-1039 have its AC power port on the side or in the back?

    If it doesn't state AXIOM(MXM is Nvidia, you are correct), then I highly doubt it is.

    Doubtful, but most laptops graphics cards aren't upgradable anyway. Yeah, they say they are, but the days of users upgrading thier laptop graphics isn't here yet.
