    If you go by benchmarks - no, the M4 will not be 'better'.

    Real world use though is another story: 256GB always trounces 128GB... from a performance and usability viewpoint.

    Even so, I would not be tempted to upgrade a tablet... a horror story waiting to happen.

    No matter what tablet you'll be upgrading; it won't be a walk in the park.

    Good luck.

    Huh, much easier to do than I expected - still lot's of opportunity to fry the unit.

    When did he disconnect the battery? I hope I just missed it (and it hope it was the first thing he did...


    Well, didn't know which tablet it was - thanks for the link!



    (the wrong aspect video made me chuckle too...). :)

    Thanks (battery info).

    Yeah, since this is a tablet, I would agree that the performance difference will be very hard to tell.

    I don't rely on it at all except for quick responses on forums - but it is a quick and dirty way to a single point of comparison for brute/raw processor power between different systems.

    (And I'm rating this cpu low on the overall scale because it is barely ~70% faster than the over 3.5 year old i3 350M I know - or looked another way - it is almost 4x slower than a currently available mobile cpu).

    So yeah, it will limit the performance of all the sub systems attached (including the SSD).
