Hi there!… I have an old Asus X550CL laptop with an I3 processor. So you know if it’s upgradeable to an I7?

Best Regards!

Hi, someone let me know if I can upgrade a Asus X55VD's processor from B980 to i7 2670QM.

Or what to take into account? Power usage? Should I only get an i5?

Thanks in advance
