I have a pretty new Sony Vaio (F series). It's got decent specs, but not quite good enough to run games like Battlefield 3 on the specs I want. I've built desktops and had extensive experience with that, but never much with laptop hardware. Is it difficult, or even possible to upgrade processor and/or graphics card in a laptop?

Answer
It is possible to upgrade the processor but it's NOT possible to upgrade the graphics card. The graphics card is built in on the motherboard. The processor in some laptops is easy and in some it's hard. In most laptops it's under the keyboard.

How do you upgrade laptop hardware?

Considering getting a gaming laptop, but would like to be able to upgrade it.

Answer
You can upgrade the hard drive, the optical drive and add ram. You might find a useful PCMCIA card- perhaps one that has a serial port. That's about it. You will not change the CPU. Maybe there's an overclocking hack, but it will shorten the CPU life with extra heat.
