HP Pavilion 11 x360 processor change/upgrade

[seenu_933]

Hi,

I have bought HP Pavilion 11 x360,  in 2014 May.

I am experiencing one of the worst processing experiences with my processor.

With this product, I could not even able to continue using it.

Processor name:Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU  N2820  @ 2.13GHz

Please let me know how can I upgrade/change my processor to improve the performance.

See p. 15...lots of different system (mother) boards because each different processor option is soldered to a different motherboard. That means that in order to have a better processor you would need to replace the whole motherboard. Frankly, your upgrade options are not wonderful, but you do have the lowest-end processor. You could upgrade to a Pentium N3540 which would take you from 1.83 ghz and 1 meg of cache to 2.16 ghz and 2 megs of cache. Probably noticeable but still not very powerful. The processor is what is known as the "Bay Trail" which is a special low voltage processor used in tablet and other configurations that will have issues with cooling and need long battery life.

We would need your exact model Part No. because the motherboard varies by which version of Windows, standard or pro and whether you have a 2-cell or 3-cell battery. This is likely to be the correct system board:

Intel Pentium N3540 processor and the Windows 8.1 Standard operating system on modelswith a 3 cell battery 794721-501

The motherboard is $241 on amazon.com which is a little less than I feared.

Before you order it check back to be sure this is the right one by cross-checking the Part No. of your laptop. You are also going to have to come up with a plan to have it put in.
