are all the original components verified to still be intact from original state of unit? ie, no one swapped the graphics card to a low grade one.

IT person here. I've verified all the components are legit. The specs on Amazon are in fact incorrect. The unit shipped actually has higher specs. This machine actually ships with an Intel Core i7-4810MQ @ 2.80GHZ. (Not the Intel Core 2.7 GHz i7 4800MQ Quad-Core) It also comes with 8GB DDR3 RAM And I've confirmed in the Nvidia driver settings that it comes with the 3GB version of the NVIDIA Geforce GTX870M

S. English,Because the system is built without any proprietary parts, you can upgrade the video card, or any of the other components. Also, proper installation of a new or upgraded component, as long as the system is not damaged, will *not* void your warranty on the original system/components.

Okay so I got the N53SV-XE1 today and everything seems to be in order. The manufacture date is in February and it had a sticker on the side that said "current revision certified", so I'm sure it's not affected barring taking apart the back and getting the chipset serial. It's back up on Amazon now too, which is also a good sign. Review forthcoming once I have more time to play with it. :)

I can't answer your questions, sir. I am looking for that answer myself. The PC is still working as of today.

I've used mine full power for nearly a year now, and there is some signs of oil build-up on the cover. the real issue is the fan bearings failing. actually, the real issue is getting a fully-functional product back from MSI on an RMA. I'm on my 3rd attempt at it, and it all started with a minor inconvenience of the fans not starting, they needed a push to start.

Thank you very much for your concern about my purchase. Sorry to respond late. The memories work fine with the installed components. I hope this will be of much help. Regards Marcelo

WILL NOT replace internal video card! I just had a customer return one of these because he said that the Q and A section said that it would replace a internal video card. For the record this is not true. Please don't answer in this section if you don't know the actual answer.

The laptop was a gift for my daughter for college, but naturally, she's installed quite a few graphics intensive games. According to her, once the game is loaded into the on-board memory, they run without a glitch. The unit is running standard use quad processors and, if I remember correctly, the unit has a separate dedicated graphics processor. Hope this helps.

Once the warranty is up I'd say yeah! I wouldn't and don't do any upgrading with any computer I purchase until the warranty has expired. Now that it's expired I've changed out the graphics, the PSU, the HDD (adding two 1 TB HDD) to keep up with the game I play. Other than that I haven't really upgraded anything. It was a solid computer for me, I did have an early problem with it re: the motherboard but the folks at iBuyPower made it right and the shipping to, repair and turn around time was very reasonable. The computer is still performing very well in BF4, BF3, BF2, Crysis series, Titanfall, etc... it did with the standard hardware in it. But since I bumped it up it's doing very well for me... now if only I can keep up with it on my end re: my game play. Hope that helps.

It looked brand new (box + cpu itself) and the guy who built my rig d asked for how much I got it (since apparently the model isn't the most recent of the serie anymore) and then said that it was a fairly good deal, while noticing nothing about it being second hand or damaged.

I dont see why not, as far as when ive SLI'd any of my cards they have to be the same version :) Manufacturer shouldnt matter.

If the question is "can you install another graphics card?" the answer is yes. If the question is "can you update the installed graphics card?" I don't know.
