    Oh, I almost forgot. This model doesn't have bluetooth I tried to contact asus on acquiring one of these bluetooth modules but to no avail.

    I took the harddrive cover off of this and found the wifi-card. I am suspecting that the bluetooth module would plug into this spot:


    But maybe not. Perhaps someone in here would be willing to snap some pictures of their bluetooth module I have one of those tiny little USB bluetooth plugs, but it drives me crazy using it. I always fear that I am going to lose it.

    That's the Mini PCI express slot but it required Asus proprietary adapter, Asus use it for Turbo Memory on a old model call F8SV.

    Generally speaking, modular graphics boards/upgrades haven't really taken off as a feature in Asus laptops... so the answer would be nope.

    personally I reckon the 4650 is a good GPU for the price, and also for what's touted as a "business notebook" - it's grunty enough to play most games at medium to high detail, and if you wanted something gruntier you'd probably just stump up to a more powerful model anyway

    (ah, the power of marketing)

    yeah, but most powerful "gaming" notebooks are on the 17-18" scale. Which sucks for portability.

    I am taking my n81vg-x1 apart right now as I am typing this. The graphics card is removable. It appears to be a variant of the MXM Module.
