Hi. so i bought this laptop because 1 it met minium specs for the oculus rift. its bearly playable. so now im wondering if their are things i can possibly upgrade on this thing.  so far ive trashed the hard drive. i did that as soon as i removed it from the box. i installed a 500 m.2 drive and redid OS. for additional space i added a 1tb ssd in the space where the old hhd was. ive upgraded the ram to 16gb. simply got another stick of ram exactly the same as already had. and now im at a point as to what else can i do. i know this laptop has different models.  some have i7 cpu's some i5. and the gpu has different options also. i currently have the gtx 1050ti. ive seen the model with the gtx 1070.  is their a possible way that i can switch out my i5 for the i7 cpu and change my gtx 1050ti to the gtx 1070? or anything ?

Hello @Ztonic 

 

Unfortunately there is no way to upgrade those components. You would have to purchase a machine with the specs you seek, already installed.  If a return is what you seek, you would need to meet the time requirements of the store you purchased from.

Im sorry.
