Hello. I bought an Alienware M15 laptop in 2019 and it's an high-end model which is listed here:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/13767/dell-alienware-m15-gets-geforce-rtx-4k-dispaly-ces-2019

The current processor is Intel Core 8th Gen i9-8950HK - 6C/12T, 2.9 - 4.5 GHz, 12 MB cache, 45 W. I would like to know is this upgradeable to any one of these Core i9-9980HK Core i9-10885H Core i9-10980HK ?

The alienware M15 uses a BGA CPU, which is soldered on, not removable.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
