No, you can't upgrade the CPU in a laptop. The only thing you could upgrade it the RAM and hard drive or SSD.

service manual said yes, but only for a10-4600m

 

[AD4MZ]

So not a10-5750m?

service manual said yes, but only for a10-4600m

I believe that the manual is stating all the different model or CPUs that the notebook comes in, but you can't swap between the CPUs in one notebook.

the system board support a4,a6,a8 and a10, just the gpu is solder to the system board.

Ok thanks but if i install a AMD® A10-4600M processor would i be able to run games like Dayz mod? It ran playable on my current laptop so i guess it would. Would you reccomend a AMD® A10-4600M processor or a AMD® A10-5750M processor. I checked the graphics components and oddly even though the A10-5750M has better specs overall the 4600m still got more fps in games.... 5750M: http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-8650G.87916.0.html
4600m: http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7660G.69830.0.html

How is this possible?

The GPU is not soldered to the system board. The A series are APU's.......

False. I upgraded my old compaq C700 from a Pentium T2310 to a Core 2 T7700 and my Asus laptop, I can upgrade my i5 2430m to an i7 2630qm. As long as the cpu is not a BGA socket, there is a chance that an upgrade is possible. It depends on what other CPU's were available to a certain model line.

I am thinking about getting the A10-5750M but i don't know if it will fit.

I think you are safer going with the A10 4600m, much higher chance that it will work.
