Can one put an i5 processor (or at least one of comparable speed) in this laptop?

I bought this computer for someone else. I never used it so I could not answer your question. However, I don't know why you would buy a computer and then replace its CPU.

No Intel fanboy, It only takes AM3+ AMD processors. But Asus does offer Intel compatible options if that's what you want.

You can, but this board does not have onboard graphics, so you will have to make sure that your processor has integrated graphics

It can be ordered in either i5 or i7 configuration, but upgrades of either the processor or memory are not possible due to packaging constraints

Are you referring to the CPU by any chance? To be honest I'm not entirely sure. But I believe you could probably find another processor to replace the one that comes with it, since you can get access to most parts by taking the bottom off of the computer. But I just replaced the RAM to upgrade from 1 to 2 gb. I am by no means a computer expert, I just know my way around the internet. :)

Yes, but it will be very slow. I would look for a computer with a I7 Quad 1.73 or faster.

You could, It would be bottle necked by your CPU. I'd look at getting a new mobo setup if possible

Its a processor, not a motherboard, which may or may not run with the components you are listing.

We are glad that you are interested with this item. Upon checking, this model can support Core i7 Processors. Thank you for contacting us.

even if it is possible, i wouldn't do that, the ram and processor are soldered, and is probable that they don't match the electronic and physical charactaristics of the laptop's mainboard, lost of warranty, etc... maybe a better idea for improving performance is change the mechanical hard drive for a ssd, it's effective, quicker, simpler and cheaper

By the way look at the user manual that is available online so you can verify if is compatible with the processor you want

sorry, doesn't show that processor supported. Also read David's note, has site info. And the software it comes with has bios updater, works good.

Reading the specs helps. This system has an Intel Pentium G2020 Processor not an i5 or any other i.

I'm pretty sure you can, haven't tried it but the ram in the laptop is more than enough to handle it

Most, if not all, video cards (aka GPUs) should be compatible with this processor. I'd recommend either a GeForce GTX 960 or GeForce GTX 970, depending on price

My friend you can go to www.cpu-upgrade.com and put your cpu's model number , over there you will know if it gonna work on your laptop or no.

It works great with my i5-4570, so I don't think it will be bottlenecked by that processor.
