Upgrading M18x R2
Hello, i'm trying to upgrade my M18x R2 laptop's gpu. Is there a way to ship it into dell to get it upgraded?
If not, where could I find a new gpu, and which can fit in my laptop? I'm trying not to spend to much money on this, and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

nope, they wont upgrade parts, its not a hard process just a bit time consuming as it requires ALOT of dissasembly including removal of the screen assembly, much system is torn down .
depending on current card or cards and power supply will determine what you need to upgrade, like maybe heatsinks and power supply aswell pending on video card(s) you choose..
Ebay, places like that would be easiest, Eurocom etc... selll cards dell rarely does
i have Dual 680m's in mine. love em, but you can support higher like 780's even 980's but requires mods..
cards average about 500 US + shipping etc.. then heatsinks and so fourth EACH for the 680's so its not a cheap adventure
