So i have this laptop currently
-> http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-netbooks/laptops/...

I was wondering if i could make this laptop future-proof when the components become outdated? Mainly talking about the CPU and GPU. Im not an expert in this but it seems like replacing the motherboard would be an ok method? (I know that i would have to buy the new CPU and GPU)

CPU? Maybe, within a small range of models.
GPU? Almost certainly not
Motherboard? Almost certainly not.

Laptop can't really be changed that much. Use it for a couple of years, sell it, get something new.

Is their any known laptop brands that could have a replaceable motherboard? Or could i get ASUS to send me a compatible board?

Don't buy a laptop with a look to changing major parts later.

Yes, some do, within a small range of devices. As do from one or two other manufacurers.
But if you want to get on the 'upgrade hardware' path, don't get a laptop.
