    Anyone got something? Anyone ever saw one? Picture of the card or the inside of the notebook? Anything?

    I have seen it, it is detachable. Has a connector that connects face down (GPU + ram chips on the same side of the connector) that shares the same cooling pipe as the CPU.

    Looks upgradable to be honest, but I wouldn't know for sure.

    If I have time I would be willing to take a picture of the back of the card, as it is a pain in the ass (and warranty breaking) to remove it to show you ^^;;

    Obviously I wouldn`t want you to break your warranty, but I`d love to see a picture of that card, backside or not ;)

    proportable posted pictures here in this forum.

    It has a connection most like the hgl 30 gpu, it has 2 horizontal connections that look something like parrallel printer ports. long and rectangular compared to a mxm.

    heres where the picture was but its gone

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=78610&page=2&highlight=w3j+upgradeable

    justin would have the picture for you if the description isnt enough.

    Its compatible with the gpu from the w2j

    possibly also the v2j and v1j but theres no pictures of those gpus. It is not mxm it is asus only

    this is not it this is the hgl 30/80 gpu

    but the connection is the same. It would look just like this if it was a rectangle, or you lopped off the part thats stopping it from being a rectangle.

    The connection is the same
