    I was wondering if anyone knows what cpu and gpu upgrades can be done with this laptop. I'm really interested in finding out if a nvidia 280 or ati 4870 works in this laptop.

    Yeah its pointless unpgrading, and if you want more kick then just use catalyst control centre for OCing.

    But yes, i believe with a little work to the heatsink (if not already suitable) your upgrades should work fine (ddr 3 for the 4870 though not 5) (atleast i think, but its all down to the cooling again i believe)
