Asus Z71V Spec *Available Here* - Page 8

on the istnc page it lists this laptop as yonah capable. Is this going to be true 'no-mod' upgradeable, and if so, can the user do it?

No the user cannot upgrade it. I would be sent back to whom you bought it from and they would upgrade it. I'm sure you could upgrade it yourself, but it does void the warranty.

When was it ever stated that this model of Asus can have it's GPU upgraded? Just because it's PCI-E doesnt mean that it's GPU can be upgradable.

My last post was regarding the processor upgrade to the Yonah, not a GPU upgrade, which as you stated is not possible on this notebook. Sorry for the confusion

so you're saying when the yonah chips come out you will not be able to simply purchase the new chip and throw it in there...forget about the warranty as I will be doing this barebones anyways...

I would think that you might be able to replace it, but I'm not sure. Obviously no has done it yet, and no one has actually taken apart the laptop to see if the end-user can do it. If you don't care about the warrant though, I'm sure you'll find a way

Actually... RJ Tech has an installation giude for CPU, memory, and hard drive. According to them, it's pretty easy. Of course, it would still void the warrantee...

If you buy it with out a chip to begin with it doesn't void the warranty....

@TheCzar: Are you sure? I would expect only authorized resellers could put in the CPU and such in the barebones and not void the warranty, not the end-user...

Pretty sure...it wouldn't make sense if I buy it barebones(ie no chip, mem, hard drive) that as soon as I put it in there my warranty is void...I would expect the warranty to simply only cover what I intially purchased...

But what you initially purchased includes the barebone notebook, motherboard etc... and if you put in the CPU improperly you can damage the mobo, so I was thinkign that would then void the warrant because Asus does not want to replace all the notebooks that people wreck.

So the z71v WILL support yonah when it's released at the end of the year?

Wait, so when you receive that laptop you will have to put it together, B Nietsnie?

No, I'm getting it pre-assembled form IST. Some people are just purchasing it barebone (ie, no processor/hard-drive/memory) and buying the other components separately, and installing them themselves. I prefer to have my notebook tested and all that before I dish out the cash for it.

So if I follow in your footsteps I needn't worry about anything but dead pixels. BTW if it did need to be assembled, I'd have it shipped to you then shipped to me completely fixed up

*opens can of worms* Come to think of it, I'm not sure if you can get a warrantee if you purchase a barebone notebook. I've seen a few sites say that.

I haven't seen anything on rjtech.com that says I need all that to get a warranty...when you click to purchase it you can't remove the warranty, and it defaults to having no chip or anything...and nothing on there says otherwise

If I was in your shoes, I'd e-mail either RJ Tech or Asus (or both) to check. Both ProPortable and Integrated System Technologies (both authorized Asus retailers) say that barebone units are not covered under warrantee. But if RJ sells them covered, go for it!
