Hello,

 

I have had my laptop since 2019 and noticed it has been a little outdated. I was wondering what CPU and GPU upgrades are available for my device and if it could even be changed out?

 

In addition, I also plan on upgrading my RAM from 16GB 2400Mhz to 32gb 3200Mhz, but my system is capped at 2400Mhz. Would upgrading to a compatible CPU allow for it to achieve 3200Mhz or is this based on the motherboard?

 

Please provide links if possible to where I can purchase! Below is a link for my current laptop specifications, validated via the software "CPU-Z".

Thanks for any help!

Hi:

 

The processor and graphics adapter are integral parts of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

Thanks so much for replying so quickly! That's sad to hear, but thanks anyway!

You're very welcome.

 

The last notebook processors that were removable were some of the Intel 4th gen core processors.

 

Since then, all Intel processors are integral parts of notebook motherboards no matter who makes them.

 

Graphics...only the couple-thousand-dollar business class mobile workstations have removable graphics cards and upgrading one of those would cost several hundred dollars.

 

So, when you are in the market for your next notebook, buy what you will be happy with for a long time--even if it costs more than you wanted to pay.

 

There are even more and more notebooks out there where you can't even upgrade the memory anymore.
