I had a dell laptop that had compatible LCD panels made from IBM, Toshiba, and some other company whose name I can't recall. During its lifespan, I upgraded its video card from the original geforce it included to some ATI card.
Dell also mailed me a motherboard to it by mistake, which I kept just in case because they never asked for it back (though I never used it because the original motherboard never failed.) The prices for the replacement motherboards weren't bad at all for a laptop (around $150ish.)
I also upgraded the video card on somebody else's Acer laptop once.
