    Yes :> but find the cpu at decent prices seem to be hard to do

    quite a few of that model already came with the x2 in it already

    Yup, should work just fine. Nice laptop btw, I stupidly "upgraded" from a 5050 to a 5100 and the only difference is that the 5100 is more expensive, it's huge and heavy and it gets warmer.
