    Hello, all. I might get totally flamed for even asking this, but is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in my CF-31? I have a CF-31ACADA1M with an HDMI out that I use quite a bit and it has the integrated Intel HD graphics. I know an option on the 31's was to have the dedicated Radeon HD graphics so I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade to that from what I have now. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

    Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the GPU on a Toughbook. They are soldered on.

    Your only option would be to sell yours and purchase a model that has a dedicated GPU.

    I do have plenty of CF-31's in stock with dedicated video cards. I'd also be willing to buy your old one off of you.

    Send me a PM if you are interested.

    Thanks!
