    Looking at potentially picking up a P9170. Currently have a MSI 1762 with the 4GB 680M and was curious if I could swap that card with the 675MX I would be ordering in the 9170....

    Anybody done this? What is entailed?

    Thanks!

    I would say YES!

    (As the MSI vBIOS works in the Clevos)

    Man, why pick up a Clevo when you have a nice, working MSI laptop with gtx680m? :)
    Just curious!

    I am also confused as the MSI is better in many ways.
