Thanks for your quick response... Just one more thing... So, core-i7 3612QM can easily be installed on this laptop and won't create any issues. Right?

You're very welcome.

 

According to the manual it should work fine.

 

I didn't see any different mother boards for the quad core processors.

 

You can always play it safe and install the i7 dual-core processor listed in the manual.
