The 840QM has no integrated graphics if I remember correctly, and the TDP is higher than the 370M. In other words, you can't upgrade.

Hello,
You can upgrade to I7-640m that is the best you can get because of the integrated Video card on the Processor. And ram up to 8GB.
I hope that could help you.
