    Posted: 25 Feb 2011 at 9:29am
I am looking to buy a new laptop for Battlefield 3 and Diablo 3 action. The mx17 from DS seems to offer the most bang for the buck. However, some other slightly more expensive alternatives (namely the Sager 8130) specifically mention that both the cpu and gpu are upgradable by the end user if they should choose to do so in the future. Can these components also be upgraded in the mx17 or are they soldered to the motherboard as in my MBP?

Beautiful!!! As soon as Uncle Sam sees fit to repay the "loan" I extended to thEm last year I'll be in touch. By the way, I was referred to Digital Storm by a prior customer of yours, "FreakyFighter". His recommendation led me here. Oh, your site had me sold as soon as I read the words, "U.S. Based customer support".

Errr...all laptops are upgradable to some extent, the important question really is how available are the parts specific to the laptop?
