Hi,

There is a HM55 chipset so both first Intel generation Core i3 and i5 are compatible. The best processor compatible for this laptop is a Core i5-540M. Look for other options and part numbers here:

Asus ROG STRIX G16 Manjaro Xfce
HP Touchpad provided by HP
HP Microserver Gen8 10TB Debian Server
