No. Everythings soldered on. The only thing you can do is storage and RAM.

::EDIT::

actually on some configs they might actually allow you to change the CPU. but I dont know about the odds of you have one that you can change yourself so i wouldnt get your hopes up with that either.
 
It's sad to see the MXM cards go. They were used in Laptops and they could probably been used in those as well. Sad it is... LINK
 
Thanks I have already done the storage and ram I just like tinkering, my last all in one had an MXM card.
 
I mean if you had a AMD System then RAM is your friend

They are still used. Just not as much. You can still buy MXM 1070s and 1060s on ebay though they cost a LOT of money. I think your main gripe is that the barebones DIY laptop market didnt take off like a lot of people were hoping.

THere are RTX20x0 MXM cards available but you need to know people who work for boutique laptop companies to be able to get you one through their retail channels.

Heres the current gen of MXM cards

It doesnt make a whole lot of difference in general as you could never buy MXM cards off the shelf through regular retail channels anyway. Everything had to go through the laptop builder or ebay for the second hand parts that were older than the current gen.

Usually GPus are soldered in to save space and money.

Yeah you could only buy online and yes I know the prices are stupid now. Better off looking to a AMD laptop and add fast RAM
