no you can't. Laptop processors are soldered to the MoBo.

So I recently got the lenovo Y50-70 and it came with a 5400rpm 1tb hdd+ 8gb ssd. I know the ssd acts as a smart cache, but I am thinking of replacing it with a 1tb 7200rpm hdd? Will my performance increase or decrease ? Does the 8gb ssd cache make any difference? Thanks.

HI I am looking forward to buying a gaming laptop. I found 2 laptops that fit my budget : The Dell 15 7000 and the HP ENVY 15-j109tx . The main difference between them is the graphic card , the Dell has a Nvidia GT 750M 2GB GDDR5 while the Hp has a Nvidia GT 740M 2GB DDR3 card. Based on this...

Go with the Z87 and the i7-4670k. There is not much of a performance difference between the Z87 and the Z97.

Windows boot loader will not be used. GRUB will take over and it will handle the windows partitions too.

Upgrade to windows 7. It will solve most of your problems.

Dell inspiron 15 7000 . Really portable, backlit keyboard, 2GB ddr5 nvidia GPU, 1TB storage. Look it up. I think it's the best option for your needs.

The size of the case would depend on the motherboard you choose. Personally i would go with a mid-tower case for optimal cooling. As for the CPU, the i5-4670 will cost you approx. $220

Your WiFi will disconnect when you put the computer to sleep or hibernation. Try deleting the wlan profile and connect once more.

only intel processors in K-series are unlocked and can be overclocked eaasily.

the features in the box are already in your OS. When you tick then they are just configured and activated.

more fans and throw in an SSD in the build.

Connect your computer to the internet via LAN and go to http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/ProductSelector , type in you service tag # and download the drivers. You will need your wireless, chipset , media accelerator drivers. You could also download the drivers from another system...
