    Hi!
    Since I bricked my old Acer laptop :)() and I wanted a new laptop, I bought this one bacause it was the best for the price line I had but I would like some more power since lots of my games have very low fps (I wasn't expecting 120 FPS Full-High Res gameplay :p).

    So this laptop has an A6-4400M and I want to change it for an A10-4600M, as far as I know this laptop has a FS1 Socket (being a socket I suppose it means I can just take out the CPU right?). I've seen a YouTube video where a guy upgrades his A6-4400M for a A10-4600M but it was a HP Laptop, here it is:



    Full Specs on my lappy (Model: NP355V4C S03CL)
    CPU A6 4400M
    GPU AMD HD 7520g + HD 7670M Dual Graphics (I HATE YOU)
    RAM 6 GB 1600 MHz
    HDD 500 GB 5600 RPM

    PD: Why does CCC always crashes and needs a reinstall after some time? :confused:

    This model of the NP355V4C comes with the A10-4600 M CPU which indicates that there is technically no compatibility problem.

    Just check that the CPU is socketed before buying the faster one.
