Hi guys, just ordered my M14x and I have been using the forums to learn more about the laptop as I'm switching from a Macbook and I'm a complete noob. So far the forums are very helpful

One thing I am concerned about is the graphics. I read somewhere that the graphics on the M14x (the GT 555m) are integrated into the laptop and can't be upgraded, but when I went on Alienware's website and asked an agent, they said that I could upgrade it but it would void the warranty. Seems pretty difficult to get a definite answer for this >.<

If anyone knows if the graphics are upgradable that would be great, and if it can be, has anyone done so yet?

Thanks a lot
