i5 3210M CPU Upgrade

[Nirmith Akash Anawarathne]

Previous month I bought a new laptop (Lenovo G480) with an Intel core i5 3210M. I usually use my laptop for “video Editing” and I usually use “Adobe After effects” to do that. But I can’t have a better editing, I think that because of the less performance of my processor. Now I don’t know what to do. When I ask to know about the CPU upgrade in the “Form” the only answer I got was “No”

Lenovo G480
Windows 8.1 Enterprise
8 GB RAM
Nvidia GT635 2GB DDR3
500GB 5400rpm SATA 2 (Seagate) HDD

If someone know a solution for this matter please let me know!

Well, the answer still will be no. You cannot "upgrade" any laptop component other than RAM and HDD. Sorry.

If your CPU is soldered in then you can't replace it.

Buy a new laptop/desktop. You can't upgrade it

I usually use my laptop for “video Editing” and I usually use “Adobe After effects” to do that.

Video editing on a dual core laptop (albeit with hyperthreading, but still...), only 8GB of RAM, slow graphics inadequate for professional OpenCL/CUDA acceleration and a slow mechanical hard drive? Good luck with that, sir.

You picked the wrong tool for the job.

The only solution here is a brand new desktop build from scratch, based on i7 with at least 16GB RAM, SSD for system drive and at least Nvidia Titan / NVidia Quadro / AMD FireGL / if you need professional results (if you don't need OpenCL/CUDA acceleration and precision, you can stick with basically any gaming card).

If you look here http://www.aliexpress.com/item-img/Lenovo-g470-motherboard-g470-g465-g460-g480-motherboard-g475/701419106.html# the processor is a possible upgrade since it isn't BGA soldered onto the board. I would head over to the Lenovo forms and see if anyone has upgraded that model of laptop and what processor they upgraded it to.
