I recently bought an HP 15 and found out it's kind of slow. I know, it's a cheap laptop, but i needed a basic laptop for school. I was wondering if i can just upgrade the cpu to make it have a better performance or if it would be a waste of my time?

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, it is BGA chip/CPU that means it is soldered to the motherboard and you have to replace the whole machine which is more expensive than buying a new and better machine.

Hi,

 

No much you can do. Please check page #1 of the following guide:

My suggestion, use it as a second machine spend more money to buy a proper machine for your needs.

How about the processors with 2GHz on that list? I just need a bit of a boost, not a super computer.
