    Hi everybody,

    I have acces to a cheap 970M from a Gigabyte Laptop, I have a P157SM with 8970m and I was wondering if it will work on my clevo with a vbios flash or something. I searched the web but I can find a final conclusion, any ideas?

    False alarm, sorry! We are dissassembling it and the GPU is integrated on the motherboard, P35W model! The laptop is dead it's a shame that you could not take neither the CPU or the GPU off, how I love my Clevo now!!!!

    Please, close this thread.

    No need to be generous, I think the machines are good enough not to need charity ;) Just buy what is best and sager/clevo will do just fine.
