    Hello,

    I ordered my Lenovo Ideapad 410p about 3 weeks ago, but I have not even opened the box yet.

    I noticed how they just upgrades their GPU's from GT 750M to GT 755M. check it out yourself:
    IdeaPad Y410p High-Performance 14" Multimedia Laptop from Lenovo | Lenovo (US).

    Is it possible to return the product for the sole reason of getting the newer model with the upgraded GPU?

    *ALSO: It's strange how only the 2 cheapest models seem to have upgraded their GPU, also i did notice the model number is different than before. Could this be a mistake?
    Thanks in adevance.

    Theres no point. A GT755M is just a GT750M with a tiny overclock. Fire the ole' MSI Afterburner and do it yourself.

    I think you're right, it might not be worth the hassle...

    Just wondering if it would be possible? Or Lenovo won't take back the computer (which I have not even opened) for these types of things?

    755m doesn't offer SLI either. If the 750M ultrabay ever comes out, you'll be SOL.

    I don't think the Y410p will ever come out with SLI to be honest. Heck, some guy on some other forum called Lenovo and they said a y520p is in the works.

    Inb4 SLI GTX760M in an affordable 1100$ package.
