I don't know the answer to that question. The PC meets my needs as is and I have never looked into possible upgrades. Sorry.

I bought this for my son from his wishlist. I believe this is just the processor.

It is integrated, you cannot replace it. If you need to upgrade cpu, replace the whole thing...

RAM on this unit is soldered to the motherboard. No user upgrade possible. But you could upgrade the drive (SSD).

Every thing on the PC is great except the graphics card. You will most likely never have to improve the processor just invest a few hundred dollars on a better graphics card and you'll be set for a good 5 years.

It is upgradable and I am not sure as to how much ram it can take. I purchased it for my son and he loves it. He is an electronics major and he takes it everywhere he goes and uses it for school.

I got the computer about a year ago and I put in a Nvidia 750 and a new 480 watt PSU and it all went fine. The computer is quite upgradable and has a lot of open space inside. It has extra ports for additional ram and another hard drive. The only downside is sort of silly, the power supply that's in it must be somewhat unique as the new one I got and other I've looked at don't have a port for the LED near the bottom of the face, which indicates which power setting you're on. Long story short, you should have no problem upgrading this machine.

The i5 processor is a new version. Better but not noticable for normal application. Unless you plan on using your computerms for online games or an thing that requires very high processing ability yout would not notice a difference. An upgrade in ram would give a huge boost on noticeable seen in practical use though.. in any computer. :) hope that helps

No the CPU and GPU are already built into the motherboard and cannot be replaced, all it needs is ram memory and a hard drive, as far as I remember you can't upgrade the processor

No, You will have to upgrade it. Most impressive machine I have owned. As fast as it is huge.

Yes on the CPU, I've upgraded mine to a i5-520m with no issues. 620m is also likely compatible (couldn't pass up the price I got on the 520 at the time). GPU is modular but good like finding something that would fit and keep within the TDP. Biggest upgrade so far as been an SSD for me along with a dual-band wireless card.

Yes, as long as you know what you are doing. There are limits due to the slim design but upgrades are available as far as video cards and others. If anyone decides to upgrade just take it to someone or youtube it

Hi Laura, We don't have anything proprietary on the machine so as long as the card and power supply fit in the chassis (and it should), you should be able to upgrade both easily :)
