    Hello, I have just bought a Clevo N850HZ through System76. After using this laptop for a while, I like it, however, I want to upgrade the graphics processor to an AMD Radeon RX560, however, I can't find enough motherboard documentation to see if this is possible. Would it be? Is the Integrated chip in the CPU or has it occupied the slot?

    Only the larger desktop CPU machines these days have MXM slots.
