Quick question.

Should the need arise to replace or upgrade parts on a laptop such as a new xm-17, what options are available? This is assuming the laptop is outside the 1 year parts warranty.

Or, for example, what if you wish to add an SSD drive 4 months down the road.

TBH, this is my first experience buying a laptop like this. My build is nothing special, but I was curious about options.

there are not much to change with laptops, you can probably add hdd/ssd easy, and possibly ram, cpu will be harder to change and you can't change gpu.

How robust are the DS laptops? Any DS laptop owners out there? Please post your DS laptop experience?

I have a DS xm15 15.6" gaming laptop. I have had it for five months now, and it still works and games great. I only play like Portal, Half-life series, and Torchlight on my laptop to kill time when I have nothing to do between classes or I'm just distracted.

Specs:
Intel Core i5 2.4 Ghz
6GB DDR3 ram
320GB 7200RPM hard drive
Nvidia GeForce 330GT 1GB & Intel HD integrated GPU

Here is my review. I'm sooo busy I don't get time to crop my pictures.
