2011 m17x r3 upgrade?
so currently I own the 2011 Alienware m17x r3 model and don't get me wrong i love this thing to death and it's no where even near dying the problem - cooling and the graphics card. i feel the cooling in this thing is pretty average and the same with the 460m. its just fallen behind and i was wondering if there's a way to upgrade both without buying a new one? and if there is a way to upgrade would trading in my current rig discount it? some told me to just back up my entire HDD and sell it when I have near $3000 for a nice new M17x R3.
tl:dr should I buy a new laptop because my graphics card is behind or is it possible to replace it?

Hi!
For the Cooling System, it would have to be third party hardware. You can upgrade the Video Card to:
If you're interested in trading it in, you can check the Alienware Trade in Program.
Hope this information helps!
