Once my exams are over in 8-10 months , I will replace my laptop's graphic card.
And when I do , I will definitely share it with the forum. That day I'm gonna show you that sometimes even an amateur can do better than expert .

i agree. i love hp as a brand but i got the ENVY 17t j000 Quad edition, fully maxed and i have the gt 740m, which is garbage. i wanna upgrade also to the gtx 780 or gtx 780m but i dont know if i can. it sucks to pay 1700 bucks for a super-machine wid a mediocre video card. wats the point? we can afford expensive cards so atleast give us the option to select it. hp is bugging out mane

Well, I think you are both right. There is actually no way to seperate that specific embedded chip from that specific motherboard. However, looking at that service manual that he posted, on page 96 it shows the part number you have. to be:

 

720267-501   Equipped with the Intel HM87 Express chipset, the Nvidia N14P-GT (GeForce 750M) graphics card 

                                        subsystem with 2GB of DISCRETE MEMORY (meaning that you should be able to allocate

                              some more to it somehow), and the Windows 8 standard operating system.

 

or

 

720269-501   Equipped with the Intel HM77 Express chipset, the Nvidia N14P-GT (GeForce 750M) graphics card 

                                        subsystem with 2GB of DISCRETE MEMORY and the Windows 8 standard operating system. You

                                        should also be able to allocate more memory to this version

 

 

Notice neither one include LEAP MOTION. There are also a host of different combinations of these product numbers depending on:

1. If you have leap motion or not.

2. Which operating system you have:

            Windows 8 standard

            Windows 8 PRO

            Linux

3.Which type of memory or graphics card you have:

            UMA or Uniform Memory Access (Your RAM is shared to the video processor, normally the CPU. Known as intel HD

            Geforce (750M) 2GB

            Geforce (750M) 4GB

4. Your Chipset.

            H87    <click me

            H77    <click me

 

 

So I know that was long winded but the point that I have is you ARE right and he IS right. You can swap out your motherboard for

 

736481-501           Equipped with the Intel HM87 Express chipset, the Nvidia N14P-GT (GeForce 750M) graphics

                                               subsystem with 4-GB of discrete memory, and the Windows 8 Standard operating system for

                                               use only on computer models equipped with Leap Motion capability.

 

 

But it does say you have to have Leap Motion, IDK might still work however. It would keep asking you to install a driver or something probably. If you do have Leap Motion however this would definately be the way to go.

 

 

Hey the internet has them for  > sale < only $282. Heck, if you do that you might as well buy the

LEAP MOTION SENSOR ( 736480-001) and either stick it somewhere inside your cover or (gently) dremel a place to mount below the keyboard. You would probably be good to go if you find a place to put that, and for a little over $300 you could upgrade it possibly. Make sure you get the correct operating system tho, as your computer registers your product key in the BIOS i think. Dont take my word for that tho.

 

 

Goodluck if you go this route, and please post back with pics if you do. I would love to see a 1700 laptop ripped apart and upgraded.
