Are there any CPU upgrades available for my laptop?
I'm going to upgrade the HD and the memory so if there is a faster cpu available it would be good to do it all together.
Thanks for any help, David.

Yes you can here is the Manual:
The Manual lists these 2, which are faster than your 2.5 ghz i5-3210M:
Intel Core i7-3632QM (2.2 GHz, SC turbo up to 3.1 GHz, 1600 MHz/6 MB L3 cache, quad core, 35 W)
Intel Core i5-3230M (2.6 GHz, SC turbo up to 3.1 GHz, 1600 MHz/3 MB L3 cache, dual core, 35 W)
The i5-3230M is only .1 ghz faster so not worth the effort or expense but the i7-3632QM would be a worthwhile upgrade, but still brings a premium price around $200-250 on eBay and through parts houses. Too much money in my opinion. Your call. Let me know if you want me to help you find one at the best possible price.
Save the money and get a solid state drive. Also much easier to install. The processor you have ain't bad.
