    Notebooks with swappable graphics units

    How many are out there? I don't mean alienware expensive either.

    Link would be greatly appreciated, if there are any!

    Cheers,
    Kez.

    Well it has taken me this long to find a link. That dell site really is outstandingly terrible. I onyl found this because another site linked to it....

    Anyway, I know it doesn't give alot of details but this has swappable graphics adaptor capabilities:

    and yes, only Intel . Although Intel do have better Modilbe CPU's

    ah, I just realised that is on their US site. Maybe they aren't generally availble in the UK .... but I do know that Dell sell VGA upgradable laptops in the UK, as I have seen people with them. Maybe they just aren't available online.
