    The other place that sells it is zipzoomfly.com but they only ship within the US. Your other option would be to find someone in the US to purchase it for you and then ship it directly to you in the UK.

    If you get the GT735, can you please post a picture of the internals, particularly the video card? I'm interested to see if the HD3850 in it is a MXM card or integrated within the mainboard.

    Ok, will do.
    Could be a while though, getting it shipped to the UK and all.

    See, GT735 is very similar to GX720.
    So it should be MXM, because they won't have to design the board if spec changes. Additionally, if VGA fails then they only need to replace the MXM card instead of the whole board, save time & cost.

    I thought I had read somewhere that the card was MXM, but i couldn't remember where..
    I'll give you some pictures when i get the laptop; it should only be a matter of time before it's ordered hopefully...
    The 3850 is supposed to perform between 8800m gts and gtx, can anybody confirm this? How will it perform on games like COD4, company of heroes, upcoming gta iv etc?
    Thankyou

    thanks for that link, when i went on there it kept coming up in german so I just didn't bother.
    guess ill just wait for amazon to sell it, or pester some friends in the usa to ship it over.
    thanks everyone.

    Does anyone know if this is indeed MXM? If so does anyone know which type? I would probably purchase this right now if I knew that you can upgrade to a 4850 or 4870 later.

    Okay sorry for that bump. It is MXM but I still haven't figured out which kind yet.
