Hey guys, I asked a similar question a while ago about a different laptop, but now I'm wondering this. I know I can upgrade the i5-430m processor to a better performing one, but can I upgrade the 360M graphics card by any chance, in the future of course? I heard that you can change it with a 260M graphics card, but is it possible to upgrade to anything better? Isn't Nvidia 360M better than 260M?

You can upgrade the processor to any dual-core i5/i7 but you cannot upgrade the graphics.

Thanks, I wonder how much it'll effect game performance, maybe 5 fps on most games more. But I heard it is changable to a 260m, on other forums, but isn't a 260m worse?

Ps I've been busy lately but I'm posting a review soon

Due to Nvidia's tricky and somewhat misleading naming scheme, a 260 and a 360 are almost identical, the 360 being clocked just a tiny bit higher.

260M gets a little better benchmarks but not with everything - mostly due to 256bit vs 128bit memory interface.

Okay thanks guys, maybe after my warranty expires, I'll upgrade to an i7 processor, and maybe give it an overclock if I need to with the graphics
