    What CPU can i upgrade this laptop to? I bought it for work, but i love the occasional game so opted for a good GPU, since it's unupgradable and i'll add an extra 2GB RAM when i have the extra cash.

    What do you use the computer for exactly? If you need more space for work, HDD is probably the 2nd easiest upgrade after memory. If you need even more space and don't require the ODD, you can get a 2nd HDD or even a SSD via a caddy. CPU upgrades aren't generally worth the money unless you have a specific need for it.

    I haven't bought it just yet. I'm planning on purchasing it, since it has a desent GPU, although it has sacrifised in other componenetry. I will be using it for work and occasional gaming (not bothered if it doesnt run on highest settings). I'm just looking at upgrade potential in the upcoming years.
