    I was checking GX600 prices in various sites and in couple of places, it is mentioned that the graphics card inside the laptop could be upgraded in the future (check CCL website). The GPU is in MXM module format and when you upen the memory compartment underneath the laptop, it also fully reveals the graphics card as well (you can see it here). I am aware that MXM GPUs will be quite difficult to find but do you think it'll be really possible??? If so, I'm definitely buying this laptop instead of MacBook Pro.

    A side question, has anyone tested the battery life of this monster yet? Is it possible to watch a full DVD movie on battery, wireless/bluetooth turned off, half screen brightness, etc.??

    The GX600 does not use MXM, the GPU is integrated into the systemboard.
