Hello, I was wondering if I could upgrade the CPU in my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540. I did some searching around with not much luck, but I was able to conclude that other laptops of the same model come with i7's. I have right now, i have a i5 @ 2.50Ghz. I know that what ever I can (if able to) upgrade to wont make a significant difference. DO NOT BOTHER TELLING ME IT IS NOT WORTH IT. I just would like to now if I can make the jump from the i5 to i7. I opened the bottom pannel and i have extremely easy access to the CPU I just need to remove 4 screws. One last thing, a bit off topic, but this computer has intel HD graphics 4600. I have 8 gb of ram, (planning to bump up to 16) I would love to boost up my dedicated graphics memory to at least 2gb but im stuck on 192mb, I feel like this computer has way to much potential to be throttled, is there any way I can up that too? (Ive already went to the BIOS so don't recommend I go there to check)
Overall I just want to get as much out of this computer as I possibly can, I use it for medium end gaming and school work, so if I can get a good run for my money off of it I will be more than happy.
Thanks in advance!
