Hello,
I'm considering what my next computer purchase will be and after being burned with needing to buy whole new laptops every 2 or so years in order to be able to make the most of current software (and games), I'm very tempted to just buy a desktop as I can always upgrade key parts instead of having to replace the whole thing. The only problem with that is that I tend to move around quite a bit for work so desktop mobility would be an issue (although not a show stopper).
Now I've recently discovered the PC Specialist Clevo range and I'm amazed just how much you can customize a laptop but before making the big decision to go with an Optimus III in the near future, can anyone share any insights of upgrading a Clevo (or other laptop)? Especially graphics cards, if I went with a Nvidia GT 670M now and in 18 months, I wanted to buy the Nvidia GT 970M*, how likely is that to be possible? Or similar.
Is there any one out there that has put a 2012 graphics card into a 2010/2011 laptop? I hear those kind of people are rumored to exist but I've never actually seen one!!
Thanks,
Jorhee
*Nvidia GT970M only a fantasy to illustrate the point...lol
