Question for my friend about ASUS K53U SX152V

Hi guys,

I just wanted to ask you guys a question this is for my friend he wanted to know what the max cpu/processor upgrade is. I have tried googling it for 30minutes and I had no such luck in finding any so I was just wondering if you guys would know

Thanks

From what I can gather from google, it is a laptop, and that is next to impossible to upgrade CPU's on, so none. Sorry man!

 

Oh I guess my friend is going to start crying now because he wanted to run a game arma 2 DAYz and he needed an additional 1.4ghz to run it so I am afraid he is going to have to beg his parents for a new computer thank you for the help man.

 

In many laptops, the CPU is completely upgradeable. Chances are, in said Asus laptop, it can be upgraded. Your best bet is to look for all of the varying options that were offered with that laptop...the highest model is pretty much the best you will be aple to support. What im getting at is if you have say, a core 2 duo... You won't be able to put an i5 or i7 in it...so dont get your hopes too high.

Ive done a few CPU upgrades in laptops....so I can assure you its 100% doable unless the CPU is part of the motherboard. That is something you'll have to tear her open to find out.


Now, as for your gpu...its not upgradeable. Unless your laptop has a MXM interface, which none of the ASUS laptops do(even their highest end models, which makes me LOLOL) then you can't upgrade.

 

Oh, and dont worry so much about the recommended spec in any particular game in regards to your CPU. Even ol core 2 duos can be acceptably decent for gaming on a budget. Hell an i3 can generally get the job done decently, too. Step up to an i5 and you'll notice a big change, then going from an i5...an i7 won't show any difference in games. Your main concern needs to be the gpu. If the gpu isn't up to spec, you're not going to have a good gaming experience.
