Lenovo Laptops - Changing Processor/Hard Drive

Hi,
I checkout the Dell laptops and each and every of them have the processor and the disk drive soldered on and cannot be changed. Also Dell uses Socket M processors which is going to be scrapped soon.

Is it possible to change the processor or the drive in any of the Lenovo ones. Lenovo ones use Socket P which is exactly where Intel is going.

Thanks,

Which ones are you talking about? Nowadays usually only the ultraportables have the CPU soldered to the motherboard. As long as the connectors are the same, you shouldn't have any problems with the hard drives.

 

The new Dells use socket P too... disk drives are never soldered. An ultraportable Lenovo will have it's cpu soldered just like the ultraportable Dells. So if you want an upgradeable cpu then ultraportable isn't the way to go.

 

True. But all the Dell ones currently available use 7200/7400/7600 - even numbered processors. All of these are Socket M ones. The Socket P ones are 7100/7300/7500/7700. Did you find a Dell laptop that had one of these processors?

I was talking about Inspiron E1505. Other than these restrictions it also can be upgraded ot only 2GB RAM.

 

E1505 not soldered.

The Latitude D630 is socket P, in a few weeks the E1520 should be out as well.

 

Thanks a ton for that information!!!
