No, your laptop supports only "AMD Comal Quad-core A8-4500M Processor & AMD Comal Dual-core A6-4400M Processor". It does not support A10 series processors, moreover I think the processors are pre-built and cannot be upgraded.

There are plenty of posts out there saying that it works fine. I've already had this laptop apart once out of curiosity and the processor is modular so it can be replaced. I'll be installing the A10 4600m chip tonight. I'll let you know how it works out.

Edit:Though I did just notice that your post is two years old and you probably don't care any more, I'll let you know anyway. Gonna squeeze another year out of this laptop if I can.

Edit 2: Did the upgrade last night. Worked like a charm. Just had to reregister Windows because it changed the image. Pretty easy.
