I just purchased an Asus Q501LA-BSI5. I had a relatively tight budget, I tried it out and I like it. I intend on dual booting chromium and/or linux on it. For the time being, it is more than powerful enough, from what I can tell.... however...
Should I want to upgrade to say, an I7 or install a graphics chipset, what is the ease of doing so? anyone know?
Theoretically the graphics chipset should not be soldered to the board if it is dedicated, but its not, its intel HD4400. I really dont know what that means for its graphics chips install capabilities. Down the road, a 2gb GeForce 740 or something might be nice considering I am a comp-anime major and don't game much anymore.
If it can't make any major upgrades like these, that is ok, It seems to be good from what I can tell when I used it and I liked how it felt... just curious what upgrades CAN be made...
