    I was wondering with the A12 bios out for this system, is it possible to purchase an i5 or an i7 mobile from somewhere and upgrade my processor?

    Okay thank you....guess I will be using this for the next couple years then. Upgrade then....hopefully games will still run on this by that point. Everything runs very smooth on mine so far.
