I have this laptop.. hp envy 15 j151sa with amd A10 5750 and 2gb dedicated Vram.. the laptop had a mother board issue and after trying to change the motherboard i was finally adviced to change the processor and the offered to give me a core i7 3770 with 1gb Vram.. is it possible for a laptop to undergo such nd is the new processor and Vram an upgrade or downgrade for my system...

Pls i need help... no bashing. Am not feeling fine

I don’t think so boss, but this should be possible with the manufacturers, but I think it’s better you sell off the Lappy then replace with what you prefer, instead of wasting time and probably wasting money on a seemingly failed project.

yes ur can change processor

There are 3 types. One can be changed, the other can't. One is 'fixed', the other type is clamped and easily removable.

Ok thank u... do u think the intel processor with the Vram is an upgrade or downgrade over the amd own

Most Intel's can be changed depending on the laptop manufacturer while AMD's aren't usually changeable on laptop.

For example Dell XPS processors are soldered to the board.

Back to question, you cannot upgrade AMD APU processors like yours. Your AMD doesn't have a dedicated graphics like you think. It's still a shared graphics but a good one.

Google for APU graphics

Even if the processor is detachable you probably cant put an intel chip on it. The physical architecture of that particular board is designed to handle AMD processor chips. If the board is fried good then your best bet is to get a new board, intel if the case fits.

Most APUs are low-cost systems thus their processor chips are physically soldered to the board.

Most Dell XPS system have their chips inserted to a socket rather than soldered to the board. Dell XPS, Asus ROGs, Alienwares, Legions, etc are laptops targeted at powerGamers and thus feature expandability in their design, some even have options of adding more physical RAM stick to expand the Vram.

The idea of soldering processors to board is to save cos and space.
