First time notebook buyer question.

I might buy Toshiba Satellite A45-S151 Notebook PC. Everything about it is cool with me except its integrated graphic, which is Intel 852GME Integrated graphics controller. Motherborads with integrated ATI Radeon 9100 IGP PRO coming up soon, I might want to upgrade the motherboard. My question is, is upgrading Notebook easy or complicated?😕 I've upgraded desktop PC before but never a notebook. Any input would be helpful.

Thanks in advance~^^
 
Why do you want this model? Doesn't look too hot, good toshibas are expensive, and cheap ones aren't all that. I would look into an eMachines M680x (look here for info) because it weighs about the same, has more power, 64 megs dedicated with a ati 9600 chipset, and will be around the same price point. My brother in law has one, and it's awesome.
 
You can't upgrade a mobo on a laptop. Just about the only things you CAN upgrade are the processor, the mem and the HD. To upgrade a new mobo you'd have to custom order a mobo for your specific case from the laptop manufacturer and i'm pretty sure they don't allow that.
