So I have been looking at laptops with gtx 770 under 1500$, 1300$ would be nice, and trying to find the one with the most bang for buck, and preferably on amazon ( and I perfectly fine with a refurbished), but one other criteria I'm looking for is the interchangeable gpu's so later down the road I can upgrade to a gtx 780 or maybe even something better IF possible if the BIOs, cooling, power supply, and mxm slot allowed. But I'm trying to decide between an MSI gt60 2oc, or a Sager NP8265 (Clevo P150SM), they both have about the same specs. So the main question is would the MSI Gt60 2oc have a possible upgradable gpu, because I know it's replaceable, but could I upgrade it to at least a gtx 780.I know it's relatively easy for a Sager NP8265 (Clevo P150SM) to upgrade almost every part. So just given me your opinion, or even recommend a computer that has an upgradable mxm 3.0 slot. (Besides an Alienware)
 
Here's my take on this. I won't recommend purchasing a laptop (or any computer for that matter) with the intent to upgrade (except to add graphics). In the case of laptops, I've found mobile graphics cards in particular to be outrageously (IMO) costly - even used ones. Instead, I will suggest you save a little more and get a model that comes stock with a GTX780M (better yet, GTX780M's in SLI).
