Hello as it seems that i have to replace my motherboard in w500 and i cant really find any with discrete gpu so i have a question about swap from t510 or w510(these are more accesable in my country) is it possible to fit that motherboard into w500?

regards,
Dovazin

Unfortunately not, since they have very different layouts.
