    is it worth upgrading from 2nd gen i5 to 2nd gen i7 for laptop

    I'm going to contact Sony first for a hardware list as the wireless ac didn't work in my laptop till I taped pins# 20 and 51 because the wireless doesn't turn on the BIOS is blocking it without taping these pins

    is it worth upgrading from 2nd gen i5 to 2nd gen i7 for laptop

    is it worth upgrading from 2nd gen i5 to 2nd gen i7 for laptop

    is it worth upgrading from 2nd gen i5 to 2nd gen i7 for laptop

    and I would have to keep with the same or lowe tdp? the current cpu uses max 35w so I guess my motherboard is 35w max? i have the manual and service manual but it shows how to pull everything apart handle and care and put back together no maximum specs. I have a sony vaio SVE14A15FG if that helps.
