DEVICE HP EliteBook 8560w Workstation.
CPU CORE I5 2nd GENERATION
RAM 16GB
HARD HDD500 + SDD128
VIGA CARD 2GB NVIDIA
I want to upgrade my note book CPU it is EliteBook 8560w Workstation.
it is Core i5 2nd generation. which bothers me a lot as it goes up to 100% while using and the device freeze for some seconds then it work again.
i tried disable start up programs,... but ehwn i use browser with 15 tabs open + youtube + google drive it freezes for som time
SO my thinking is if i upgrade CPU to newer generation i will serve me better and cost me less from buying another laptop.
PLEASE advice me what i should do and which CPU i need to choose with zero problems in the future?
WHERE i can buy CPU online?
PS: if some one walked this road before with the same device PLEASE share your experiences.
