Hi,
Is it possible to replace a laptop CPU with a better one if it's the same generation?
I'm looking at moving this laptop from an i5 2430M to an i7 2640M or perhaps even a quad core. Does the TDP have to be the same?
It's a Vaio CB35.
Also upgrading it to 12GB ram and an SSD, it's GPU is a Radeon 6630M, can't do much about that.
The reason for upgrading is that this laptop struggles with 4K video, but has the advantage of a removable battery and the screen is pretty good, so I haven't been able to find a decent successor unit.
Cheers.
