    Hi folks - I've been spending a while looking at CULV 13" notebooks and after a nice price drop by Dell, the 13z has become a lot more attractive.

    What I'm wondering is - if I buy the model with the Intel X4500MHD, can I add a G105M later myself? I.E. is there an accessible, wired slot that I can just throw it in?

    On the otherhand, if I go for the G105M option when buying - can I decide to use the X4500MHD if I want to prolong battery life?

    Or am I wrongly assuming the X4500MHD is integrated and on the board?

    Yes this is a case of wanting to have my cake and eat it too :eek:

    Thank you for any replies - information on any of the above questions would be really appreciated

    I don't think the 13z has switchable graphics, nor do I think it can be replaceable since it would be on the MB itself.
