    Hi.. Suppose mobo in the laptop fails, then is it possible to replace the mobo? And if so, I can buy a mobo having a dedicated graphics card?

    Thanks.

    About the dedicated graphics card - if you buy an SR with integrated graphics and then take a motherboard with dedicated graphics it may work.
    However there would be a few problems - layout of graphics card. Heat management...
