I know, laptops are really expensive even though they are usually much poorly equipped tha regular PCs, but yours sounds solid. I also run my FS9 on a laptop but my graphics card is not that powerful as your future one. I asked if it's possible to upgrade the graphics and dude in the store told me it ain't possible. Why would you wanna buy a laptop?

if it was me, and i had that kind of $$ to spend, i would buy a pc and at least get something upgradeable if i couldn't get something right off the bat. i haven't seen jlangevin around for a while but he was coaching people about building nice pc's on the cheap. i think a laptop is the wrong way to go unless your apt is so small you can't turn around in it.
just my opinion, ymmv.

No, it is not possible to upgrade the video card.
