Probook 4520s
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP probook 4520s laptop with core i3 370m processor, AMD Radeon 5000 graphics and ddr3 pc3 10600s 4gb RAM. What's the highest CPU that I can upgrade to? Is it possible for me to upgrade my graphics card?

Here is the Service Manual:

 

Manual

 

i7-620M is the top compatible processor. 4 GB memory is maximum per the Manual but I am pretty sure it would take 8 gigs. 2 x 4 gig DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM and make sure it is low density like this:

 

https://www.amazon.com/4GB-DDR3-1333MHZ-SO-DIMM-Refurbished/dp/B0051SQYBU/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=DDR3-1...

 

8 black blocks on the side of the module not 4. 

 

AMD Radeon 5000 is not one of the video options but there is no upgrade to anything that is not soldered to the motherboard. There is no removeable video card in other words. You likely have either Intel HD video or AMD Radeon 4350. 

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
