    If you like the idea of upgrading your laptop at lil to no complications, check out the Sager and Clevo forum on this website. Those laptop computers are MADE to upgrade! :)

    Processor is easily replaced. The same compartment which you open to add/change memory is opened. Then you just remove the heatsink to reveal the CPU.

    Yup. I have a M1530 (but nothing really different in the procedure), and just did it today. Took me about 10 minutes.
