hi, i been looking around and i couldn't find weather the a10 was compatible with this laptop due to some saying it can work but if you have the specific chipset u get full performance from the a10.

do you already have this laptop? if so you need to find out your mobo and find out the compatible cpus for it most likely on hps site. just throwing this out here if you didnt buy it hps suck stay away from their laptops. and if you are trying to go for more performance go intel even though the a10 is a pretty good apu

since they don't give you the exact model, I would said NO.

The a8-4500m uses a BGA style package.
Basically, that means Ball Grid Array. The processor is soldered into the socket, and unless you have a VERY specialized machine, removal will NOT be an option.

For the mobile APU's, this applies to all of them. Replacement is not an option sorry.

only reason why i am buying it cause its a 17 inch screen, and the laptop is affordable. as well im also looking for a laptop that has good built in speakers. if any one knows a laptop that has a 17 inch screen, with good speakers and amd processor a8 to a10.
