Lookng into the future

I saw a thread where the new xps gpu look like they are glued but not soldered? So can anyone confirm it is not soldered. If its not we can upgrade it in the future.

Also, is the cpu soldered?

Also is there two harddrive caddys in the r2?

The thread states in short regardless of if there is glue they are also soldered, hence the electrical connection or at the least glue would be harder to remove.

Neither the GPU or CPU are individually upgradable.

There isn't two hard drive caddys in the 15" as standard. There is in the 17".



You can replace the optical drive with another hard drive and run the optical drive from the eSata/USB port with a cable and caddy.

No worries.

Your best bet is to look at the Dell Service Manuals.

Cheers for the rep There are people on here that have taken their l502 apart but I don't think anyone's really documented it. Internally they are more or less identical to the l501 from the sound of it and looking at the service manuals.

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, getting real impatient.
