    I was wonder if the CPU in Z is removable / upgradable like PC or is it solder on the motherboard like TZ?

    many thanks in advance~

    It's easy removable/upgradeable.

    thanks for the confirmation~

    I dismantled everything, removed EVDO modem module and upgraded the HDD back in October. Diddn't pay attention to the CPU at the time. If I remember correctly, the CPU and GPU share the same heatsink :)
