Did you find out where it is? I’ve just bought a new one for my daughter (student) and the CMOS battery is pretty near dead and I can’t wait while for the online retailer to fix it as it is needed now and works apart from that.

Does anyone here know what cmos battery this laptop takes and how easy it is accessable?

Thanks

Cheers for quick reply on this guys – that’s good news on the CPU front. Based on the PM45 chipset, would this mean I could put any of the following CPUs in – or are there further limitations (RAM speed aside)? Thanks again.

The CPU is not soldered, so you may replace it (ebay is great source or cheap mobile CPU from the T series), but the GPU is soldered to the motherboard, so you won’t be able to upgrade it, even if you find something better. Not that is possible to upgrade it now (except for the HD4670 for MSI service channels) because it’s obe of the last GPUs in the mid-range gaming GPUs to use MXM2 by default. Most GPUs are now MXM3 already, so you have one the best of those available for the entry level gaming laptops already, even if soldered onto the motherboard.

Great review guys – very informative. I have just purchased a slightly lower spec 16″ version – 320GB HD and a T4300 dual core Intel. I would be very grateful if someone (perhaps one of the Twisted Team!)could advice me how easy it would be in the future to upgrade the processor in this laptop? Intel PM45 chipset limitations aside; is it easily accessible and more importantly easily ‘changeable’ i.e. non soldered?

I’m guessing that the GT 240M could be replaced in the future too – or would there be issues with this.

All in all though – for less than 500 quid this a total steal.

Thanks for your help
