Laptop CPU upgrade from Sandy to Ivy

[giathyex]

Hello there!

My laptop is Acer 4749z. Its original CPU is Pentium B960 and i have upgraded it to Core i7 2620M. It runs very well, there is no problem.

But one day i recognized that i could upgrade my desktop from a Sandy Bridge CPU to an Ivy one. So can i upgrade my laptop like that?

Thanks for answering my question.

Well if the cpu is compatible with your motherboard and if it is a 35w or lower because the laptop is maxed at 35w TDP.

TDP:Thermal design power
