Your currently installed processor was the top tier CPU marketed as an option back when the notebook was supported and stil is. 


So your notebook's current processor is as good as it gets.


Since it is now a retired product, all support has been removed from the HP Support documents and web pages, except the one I found below.

Many thanks for your answer, it really helps me. I am trying to upgrade this laptop to the best it can be. I am upgrading the memory to Crucial DDR3-1600, and the hard drive to Crucial 1 Tb SSD (Both recommended by Crucial). Besides those and knowing that I cannot upgrade the CPU, is there any other upgrade that can be done? Please let me know any suggestions, I will appreciate it. Thanks again!
