Basically, I know that this APU is NOT soldered to the motherboard of this laptop (don't post that whole "laptop parts are soldered to the mobo, buy a desktop" BS, I have a custom gaming desktop and I know how to swap out the parts on both desktop and laptops). I would like to upgrade to an A8 (it came with an a6), however the only A8 @ 35w is the 3520m which wouldn't be much of an upgrade. My question is basically this; would replacing a 35w chip with a 45w one be a terrible idea? -I've heard that power consumption/voltage play a pretty major role in component upgrades for tablets and laptops but 10w seems like nothing. Thanks in advance! -nick
