Hi All, Am looking at buying a new laptop - and the sony nw20 really jumps out at me (specc list here, http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/12050156/Sony-VAIO-NW20-EF-W-Core-2-Duo-T4300-2-1GHz-3GB-320GB-DVD-SM-15-5-Windows-7-Home-Premium-64bit-Laptop-Notebook-White/Product.html) However, the Graphics card seems to be absolute pants. and i may want to play games in the future. Nothing too crazy, maybe just world of warcraft. My question is, can i upgrade the graphics card on this laptop? I know some laptops don't have this feature but I don't really understand how to tell, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, the laptop linked doesn't have a MXM or mPCI-E slot, which pretty much removes all graphical upgrade options available.

Maybe someone else will be able to confirm this; I'm having trouble getting any clear info regarding the laptop off Sony's site.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, Do you reckon that sony will be able to play WOW at all? My current laptop has a very basic ATI Graphics card and it can run it fine... but i have heard only bad things about shared cards all the best.
