    Hey, so I have a P150HM, I'm somewhat wondering if it's possible to upgrade the video card(I have the radeon 6990m). I wasn't sure if anything such as getting a discounted upgrade from Malibal is possible. Obviously didn't want to just pay the full price for the card, so I'm hoping Malibal could discount me somehow! Also, I had bought the laptop September of last year, so It's been a while.

    Anyone have any idea if Malibal could upgrade me to one of the newest cards?

    Probably best to contact them, they did tell me when the HD7970M's availability stabilizes it will be available as parts tho.

    I emailed them about getting a 7970M upgrade kit after Sager announced they'd be selling them, but never got a response.

    To be fair, the 680m isn't out yet and hasn't been confirmed to work in hm models. The 7970m should be available once they have spare. Can't see it being too long.

    Ohh.. hmm I'll try emailing them just to see if I get a response then :) . And yeah I figured it may take some time as the cards are very new. I didn't have the cash on me anyways but I was just hoping for like a discount as they have good customer service and gave me deals when I purchased the laptop. Hopefully the 7970m isn't too much from them if they can hook a brother up(lol)
