So, I have two laptops. One is a Dell Latitude e5430. I used to use that one instead of this one, but now I am using this one because that one has a part fault that I haven't found yet. So instead of fixing it, I am trying to replace parts. My current core is an Intel Core i3-2350M 2.30GHz and I want to replace it with an Intel Core i5-4200M 2.5GHz. Is this possible to do or are they not compatible?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you provide the exact model or product number of the notebook so we can see the compatible CPUs.
It is not possible to go from a 2nd gen to a 4th gen Intel Core CPU. However, you can most likely insert a more powerful 2nd gen CPU.
So, let me know,
David
