Can i upgrade my CPU on my Lenovo G50-45

[Deathmachine122]

Is it possible to upgrade my Processor speed on my Lenovo G50-45?
My current Processor speed is 1.80 GHZ.

No, you cannot. Well, you could possibly buy a whole new motherboard with a different embedded CPU, but that's really just a complicated, risky method of buying a new laptop.

No socket, the cpu is soldered to the mainboard. Upgrade not possible.

Having said that, what's the reason?

If it feels sluggish, and has an HDD, then possibly you can swap that for an SSD.

I can't tell though since there seems to be many different configuration options for that model.

*You can tell if the CPU is the problem by opening Task Manager (right-click Start.. ). Performance-> CPU-> (right-click and change to show more than one graph if just once CPU graph).

Any time the CPU is the bottleneck you should see at least one graph hit 100% usage usually.
