change cpu on X301

#1 Post by flappinski » Sun Nov 29, 2009 3:16 pm

anyone experience with that? is it possible? where purchase them? which models possible?
I am happy with the laptop, but meanwhile I could need more power. And the 1.4 GHz CPU seems to be a little bit slow. I would prefer something around 3GHz
thanks,
Stephan

You cannot change just the CPU on the X301. It is soldered to the motherboard and the entire motherboard has to be changed. Fastest CPU for this model I think is the 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo. No 3GHz Core 2 Duo CPU exists for the X301 (in fact, I am not sure any laptop out there has it).
Current: X220 4291-4BG, T410 2537-R46, T60 1952-F76, T60 2007-QPG, T42 2373-F7G
Collectibles: T430s (IPS FHD + Classic Keyboard), X32 (IPS Screen)
Retired: X61 7673-V2V, A31p w/ Ultrabay Numpad
Past: Z61t 9440-A23, T60 2623-D3U, X32 2884-M5U
