Hello ,

and I would like to upgrade the CPU of my notebook but I don't know which new cpu I could build in.

Which is the best CPU i could upgrade to ?

Thank you in advance.

Since your laptop has the HM77 chipset it will take 3rd gen processors and your best will be:

 

Intel Dual Core i5-3380M 2.90-GHz
processor (SC turbo up to 3.60-
GHz; 1600-MHz FSB; 3.0-MB L3
cache, 35 W)

 

Not a huge upgrade from what you have. I would focus on memory and a solid state drive to improve performance.
