HP dv6-3143us (a general question)

[raza715]

Hello my friends, i found a killer deal on newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834157466

I want to ask if its upgradeable to i5 later on as it has i3 370M in it by stock. Is its cpu upgradeable?

According to the Intel spec page:
- i3-370M is 35 W, BGA 34mmx28mm package and needs PGA988 socket
- i5-560M is 35 W, BGA 34mmx28mm package and needs BGA1288 or PGA988 socket

So my guess is Yes and you won't even need a new fan/heat-sink... looks like i7-640M also lies in the upgrade path.
