    Hello,

    I saw on the Zepto website some ads regarding their new laptops and I was wondering about the MXM upgradable GPU they are selling. Someone already knows if this is something purely marketing or if it is something real?
    I could be interested in this model and I would appreciate real upgradable solution especially for GPU.

    They are upgradeable, but laptop cards compatible with the MXM-II are quite few so dont expect any card to be compatible.

    Technically upgradeable, yes. But dont expect you can ever really do it, its more of an advertising thing.

    I will disagree with that. Zepto has officially said that they will upgrade your graphics card for you.
    First in the world to do that in fact.

    It would be great if Zepto could offer real upgrade and support for such models in the future... This will also depends on how many machine they will sell, if there is market this will motivate them.
