MSI Creator 17 Peripheral upgrades

I know that RAM and Internal SSD are upgradeable, but is the Internal GPU upgradeable in the MSI Creator 17 ?

No, it's embedded on the motherboard.

Maybe one day they will figure out a way to build laptop motherboards capable of upgradeable internal GPU. Would be nice, instead of having to attach a large bulky EGPU tower.

GPU is already available for upgrading on GT series laptops.

Good to know. Thanks

If all laptops would be upgradeable that would increase dramatically the price, not everyone would want to pay for this option,
It's only feasible on high end laptops. In recent laptops often the bottleneck is the CPU, everything would have to be modular.
Change GPU and CPU, then you need a new power supply if not it would castrate the performance of both.

I need to upgrade GPU for smoother real time preview of multiple 4k videos stacked with effects applied to them on the time line, while video editing.

Well if your Creator 17 has Thunderbolt 3, then you can always purchase an eGPU, external graphic card.
