Can I upgrade the graphics card in this unit? null

I doubt it. Power is only 250 watts - and cannot be upgraded, Proprietary thing.

I recently bought a gtx 960 to put into my system. The down side is the 960 req. 400W and the system only comes with a 250W power supply. If you were to upgrade to a better graphics card you would have to upgrade your power supply because 1, its not enough watts, and 2,theres no cable to plug into the adapter cord most graphics card come with to power the graphics card. The graphics card that's currently in the system doesn't req, a cord going from the power supply directly into it. And to upgrade your power supply you would have to replace your motherboard because the motherboard Lenovo puts in the system is only a 10 pin, and power supplys most of the time only come with a 24 pin to plug into the motherboard. There is no 24 pin - 10 pin adapter cable either. To sum it all up, just to upgrade your graphics card, you will have to replace your power supply and your motherboard, so than your looking at atleast $300, than $40 x3 because geeksquad charges $40 per piece to install, so that's $120 + $300. So $420 just to upgrade the graphics card. Or you can put the pieces in your self and just void the warranty.

you wont need to, the 770 level card is in perfect harmony with the tower specs, it is fast. crisp response when gaming. But there is 3 more slots empty if you want to go to town.

Of course. Make sure your PSU has enough wattage for your new graphics card and your CPU doesn't bottleneck with it.

Yes, this product can be upgraded.
