    Hey,

    I have an old off brand laptop running stock from the manufacturer:

    Clevo W870CU
    i7 Q820 1.73GHz
    8 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M 1024MB

    No problems with it but i'd like to upgrade it where possible.

    What are the max options I could upgrade to?

    Thanks!

    Stick an SSD in it and it should be fine as a productivity device.

    Thanks, but it already has an SSD.
    What would be the best graphics card it could take?
