d6bmg Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Any ways, back on topic. I don't know if you would care to do this, but if your laptop isn't powerful enough, have you considered just buying a new processor for it? Newegg sells some laptop processors, and while they are expensive, it would be better than trying to buy a whole new laptop. I know it isn't the best option in the world, but I hope it gives you something to think about. I'll have to say its a bad idea. Reasons: 1. expensive, 2. not a vfm option, 3. very few people can change processor of a laptop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 After MUCH searching, I've found that CyberPowerPC makes the cheapest gaming laptops (as well as the best quality components for the money) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 ^^ Yes, but fanboy of any specific brad won't get 'gaming laptops' from them. And also they can't install water-cooling loop in the laptop (which will help overclocking laptop). Can they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas13013 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 I'll have to say its a bad idea. Reasons: 1. expensive, 2. not a vfm option, 3. very few people can change processor of a laptop. Does anyone have any real experience with this? My friend is really creepily into the idea of changing his laptop processor to an i7, and while I have confirmed it will fit, I'm not sure how to go about actually doing it or even if I want to. (He isn't going to do it himself) Does anyone have any advice for me on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scr4wl Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 I've done it before, and its really not that big of a deal. You will have to, in most cases, pull the laptop completely apart. You'll also need to make sure that the motherboard supports the new CPU (preferably you'll do this before you buy the new chip ) I've yet to pull apart a newer Intel laptop (netbooks excluded) where the chip is soldered to the motherboard, so you'll probably be ok there.

DanTheGamer11 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Don't it got turbo boost? Well you need to buy a correct wattage/TDP and socket otherwise it'll cause problems, (Lappy CPU might be soldered in though so look it up on internet...), then you simply install it normally..
