Vortex lll and the new Haswell/Nvidia chips.

[Jaydea]

So, I just noticed that the new Haswell processors and 700M Nvidia cards are now in the new Vortex lV chassis and was wondering whether or not these would work inside my Vortex lll?

Love my laptop, but would love to ditch this 675M for something, new, shiny and kepler. New processor would be cool, too.

The Haswell CPUs use a different socket - 1150 rather than 1155 - so, no.

The 700M, perhaps. I'm not sure if the 675M is soldered on or is a discrete unit. If it's the former then no, if the latter then probably.
