So far only D series were using MxM card.
The rest is soldered to the mobo.

So if you plan to upgrade ur GPU in the future, get urself a D series

Yes you can. If you use i5 6400 proc right now, you can upgrade later to I7 6700 proc since they use Intel Socket 1151 (Intel Gen 6 proc) in D series.
Same goes like mobo which use in PC.
Unless the Intel screw up by releasing new proc with new socket for the mobo.

BTW I'm using Illegear D7 series

If you go for graphic performance, you can easily set your game with high/ultra preset game setting in 2k reso (1980x1080) with GTX1070 or GTX1080. Im using GTX1080 in my D7, so you can said that the performance is outstanding.
But here some my POV if you decided which GPU you wanna choose:
- GTX 1080 can run the game in high/ ultra preset even 4k reso; but not many game use 4K reso; just stick to mainstream 2K reso. So, GTX1070 or GTX1060 should be fine.
- If your budget tight or just go for the mainstream game such as CS:GO or Dota2; GTX1060 or GTX1070 or those GTX9xx series (maxwell) is more than enough, depend on your teacup. Google them for better comparison between those GPU. GTX 1080 price also like a bomb.

You should know that the GPU GTX10xx series is the same GPU that use in PC. That's mean their performance & the price tag almost the same with those GPU that use in PC.
**Heck, even my old D5 Haswell (GTX980M)& Z5 Haswell (GTX970M) runs smoothly with ultra (GTX980M) /high (GTX970M) preset for 2K reso with no sweat. Yes, I bough 2 model from them before**
As for CPU, both i5 & i7 delivery a good performance, it's depend on your taste. Anyway you don't need overclock in your laptop unless you really want to.

If you have extra budget. get urself some extra boost performance on your laptop like SSD & extra RAM (if you running extra task, 16GB is quite enough)
Anyway I don't have any problem regarding the overheat in my D7 & my old D5 &Z5. You can ask them to run test before they delivery to you.
..................................................................................................
As for the Illegear service, if you have any problem regarding with your laptop, just send it to them which is a better option rather than you fixing by yourself.
I can tell that their service was quite good so you don't have to worried about warranty. I got problem with my D5 Maxwell with its power connector, so I send it back for service and around 2 week my D5 return back to me.
(I'm from Sarawak, so 2 weeks is normal for me - time delivery).

Because my old D5 using the 1st gen of D5 which using Clevo P7xxZM mobo and layout. The GTX10 series MXM more bigger and require more power consumption.
So the new D5 series (Clevo PxxDM or DM-G series)come with different mobo & layout which can support the latest GPU series today.

But still my old D5 with GTX980M still handling most of my game with high & ultra settings preset. So, I won't bother so much.

Hello PrinceJ,

Seems my D5 Haswell have another major problem. Right now my display turn into white after using its for some period (2 or 3 hours) .
It turn back to normal for some time (after restart) and turn back into the same problem. Other than that, my system were doing fine.
Have to depend to my extension monitor for now.

Ermm, seems I need to send by postage again.

I guess there's no other way.

I'm notice that D7X still using HDMI 1.4b port.

Was looking for the model that can support HDMI 2.0

I'm using external monitor with Microboard M340CLZ right now (3440x1440 @ 100Hz native refresh rate) with HDMI 2.0 input right now.
Was planning to get Acer Predator X34P in future if this monitor will release by Q2 2017.
