Can I turn this into a gaming pc by changing the insides?

Am sorry but the answere is no or you change the mother board and its component big job

I don't think so, Nathaniel. The biggest weaknesses that inhibit this from being a gaming PC-- the Core i3 processor and the lack of a discrete high-speed graphics card-- cannot be fixed.

By default no; you would need to contact cpu solutions prior to them building the machine and request the desired modification.

Yes...this computer can be upgraded.Be careful with video card upgrades,the slot is placed in such a way that in may not be possible to install 2 cards.My computer has three fans,one for the interior,one for the power supply and one for the CPU.If additional fans can be installed,I donot know;but there is an open connector plug.I hope this helps you.

Some components (memory, disk, graphics) are easy to upgrade, the motherboard is replaceable, but is a customized version....

It would not be worth it. You would have to add a video card and a sound card memory and change the processor, it also doesnot come with software. It makes a great home server. Not a media player.

Laptops aren't known for being very upgradable or expandable (except for an expansion slot on some or swapping RAM). Replacing a processor is not a simple task, even if you find a compatible one. And even then you're wasting your money (spend it instead on a different laptop). Integrated graphics would be part of the motherboard, not sure if there's an expansion slot for another graphics card but if you want something for gaming, don't get this laptop. Spend your graphics and CPU money towards a higher end laptop.

it depends on what cpu and motherboard and power supply you have , and what you're trying to replace it with. You have to make sure that your power supply can handle the graphics card you wants to buy instead

No. The RAM is soldered to the motherboard, so expansion is not a realistic option.

You can change the specs when you buy through the lenovo website but it would be cheaper to buy the parts you want changed outright and take it to your local computer shop. But no subs when you buy here through amazon.

Yeah you could , but you will need a lot of other parts too. Prolly be cheaper to buy a used one . And start from there . Hope I helped

Yes you can. There is, however, a process. Your going to have to call ASUS, which is a hassle until you get to a department that can actually help you, and have them e-mail you a free shipping slip along with the RMA forms. You will be without your computer for 1-2 weeks and may have your system wiped clean. I suggest you do two upgrades and make your life a hell of a lot easier. The video card seems to have a huge issue with the wires coming off of the fan connectors and the power supply unit barely cuts it. Grab yourself a 430-500 watt (high rated!) PSU and a video card in your budget (save for a GTX 660 or something) and you will be happy as hell with your system. This ~$200 upgrade will turn your rig into a true powerhouse, without breaking the bank too much.

No you should be fine to just change out the hardware and use the same guts that you already have.

Yes you can, just run the alienware command center a customized as you like.

I haven't done it yet but see no reason that wouldn't allow you to. I plan to add more ram to the one I own. As for upgrading the OS that shouldn't be any issue either.

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

That computer uses an Intel based motherboard, and this is an AMD processor. If you want to make it fit, go grab a hammer. May take you a few tries, but you'll eventually get an AMD processor to fit in there. Might not work though.

I don't think this can be done. But it does have an amazing graphics card built in! :D
