    Hello! Do you think it is worth it to upgrade from Celeron 560M to Intel T7700? Is there a big difference between T7300 and T7700? Thank you!

    I used both the T7300 and the T7500, and I can tell you the T7700 is only worth it if you use frequently CPU intensive applications such as rendering or video encoding.

    The T7300 is a very capable CPU and is a very good value for money. You can get one from ebay for around £15.

    Commander Wolf one of the forum member is selling a T8100 and a T7500 for $24. Both will work in your laptop. He is also selling a T9500 which is the fastest CPU for your laptop but the asking price for it is $145. If you're interested just post here and he will list them in ebay for you :)
