Can I upgrade my video card and processor on my 2017 r4.
I now have i7-7700 and gtx 1070. Thanks. I'm being told I cannot but I want to make sure. If I can't, why not? The older Alienwares allowed me to upgrade everything, why would they change that. That was the beauty of having an Alienware.

Hi tonofuns,
If you are referring to the AW17R4, the information you have is correct, you can not upgrade video card or process since they are embedded into the motherboard. For you to do an upgrade, you'll need to replace the motherboard.

R4 what? laptop? desktop? model? is is a r4 airplane? r4 means not much its just a revision need to know what it actually is.. but if its a laptop.. not gonna be able to upgrade as everything is soldered to the motherboard.. would require motherboard with specs you want already.. if its a desktop.. anything is up gradable... if its an airplane.. sell it off buy newer
hahaha ..
but yea known what actual system it is would help alot more then me guessing ..
