First off, you're asking a question in such vague terms that it can not be answered.  You ask ten people what "cost effective" means and you will get ten different answers.  So, we here can not possibly answer such a vague question.

Second, you are acting like replacing a CPU in a laptop is a simple matter of buying a more powerful process, popping out the old one, and popping in the new one.  This is not the case.  Processors are usually soldered to the system board and replacing them requires completely disassembling the laptop, replacing the entire system board, and reassembling the laptop -- something that can easily cost more than simply replacing the laptop with one with a more powerful processor.

Third, the HP specs for you model indicate it far exceeds the minimum hardware requirements for Android Studio -- so I don't know why you want to spend a fortune upgrading it.

First off, how about you ask a question back instead of being a jerk. If you question what I mean by "cost effective" ask me.  I mean the cheapest.  

Second, for some of us it is as simple as popping out the old one and putting in the new one. I am more than capable of soldering and I have disassembled my laptop many times to upgrade various hardware in it.  The wifi card, the optical drive, more ram etc.  to the point where I don't even have the screws in it anymore, so I can just pop off the back and easily get to the hardware.

Third, you don't need to know my reasons in order to answer the question.  If you don't have anywhere close to an answer and you only answer is you being a **bleep**, find something better to do with your time.

Thank you for being part of the HP Community!

OK, then don't you be a jerk and say "cost effective" when you mean cheapest -- as that is only one of several meanings.  It's like asking what is the "best" -- and yeah, we get a LOT of those questions.

As to soldering, then OK also -- as almost no-one who visits these forums has any ideal what soldering means, let alone HOW to do it.  If you can do this, then it's up to you -- but opening the laptop voids the warranty.  Just do you know.

As to why, I was only curious.

[wmt9905]

so me not phrasing my question in the way you prefer it to be phrased is me being a "jerk," which validates you purposely going out of you way to be an ass?

and you weren't just wondering.  you were sitting on your high horse like you knew better than I.

by the way, you still haven't even attempted to answer my question. 

just stop replying to my question please. as you have no intention of actually answering.  please just stop!

OK ... sorry .. we got off on a bad footing -- and that was my fault.

Here is the Service Guide to the HP series to which your model belongs.   You will see the list of processors the series supports:  http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04763947

The HP Service Guides generally list the series and have a column for each set of models that have the same hardware.  In this case, HP does not provide that level of detail.  Additionally, HP does not appear to have a service guide specific to your model -- or I would provide a link to that.

[wmt9905]

Thank you, but that doesn't make sense to me as it currently has an i7 and the manual doesn't show any i7s.  Any insight?

@wmt9905 

My guess is that HP expanded the HP 15 series to add more powerful processors after they published the service guide and did not update the guide accordingly.

Really sorry ... I thought that could help.
