Samsung RV511 and RC710 mxm compatible

[KevinS]

Hi everyone

Im looking to buy this laptop - Samsung RV511 Core i5 Laptop - NP-RV511-S02UK -, it says it has a NVIDIA GeForce 315m graphics card and im trying to find out if its an mxm card so i can at a later date upgrade it ?, i have contacted Samsung and got nowhere.

And...

So not to start two threads, does anyone know what graphics card is in the Samsung RC710, and how does it compare to the RV511 ?, they both seem to have the same processor but i can not find out what card is in the RC710, but the RC710 has a 17.3 inch screen and the above RV511 has a 15.6 inch, are there any other difference ?

Thank you for any help
Kevin

It wont be mxm. Very few manufacturers actually bother to use mxm as it is more expensive than just soldering the gfx chip on the mobo.

Acer used to use mxm but now seem to solder the cards on, and most gaming laptops use mxm (alienware m15/17/18, clevo range, Asus G series and msi mostly do)
