Improve the processor speed on my hp 14 dq0051dx

I want to Improve the speed on my hp 14 dq0051dx. Mainly use it for online stock trading. I already upgrade the ram from 4 to 8.

The processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

If you want a decent performing Intel PC, never buy a notebook with anything less than an Intel Core i5 processor that comes with a NVMe SSD and 16 GB of memory.

The 64 GB eMMC drive your notebook has is not much faster than a mechanical hard drive and cannot be upgraded either.

Thank you. Its basically for when I'm traveling so was looking at an inexpensive solution.

You're very welcome.

You would have to replace the motherboard, heat sink and add a fan to upgrade the processor.

It would be cheaper to buy a new notebook with better specifications than to upgrade yours.

The only inexpensive upgrade you can do would be to remove the 8 GB memory chip you installed and install a 16 GB chip in it its place, but I don't know how much better the notebook will run.

All sources indicate the notebook only supports 8 GB of memory, but folks have successfully installed 16 GB memory chips in notebooks with the Intel® Celeron® N4120 processors.
