alienware/cleveo/sager laptops have "replaceable" video cards, which basically means you replace the motherboard, though this latest lot is a replaced motherboard, keyboard, bottom half of the case and psu.....

someone showed me a dell once with an ATI mini pci video card, never seen one again, i think he wangled it somehow
