Socket and limit

[YuiLow]

I have a hp probook 450 with i5-4200m, and i want know the socket and to know other laptop cpus higher than i5 to swap out

Google is your friend. You probably know more than we do because it's your laptop.

All I know is that sometimes the CPUs in laptops are BGA, meaning that they're soldered directly to the PCB and thus aren't replaceable or able to be upgraded.

Its a bga cpu 

Physically impossible 

Also God knows what the AGESA code support is for that board

It's bios is basically a big mystery

Some of them were socket G3 which is PGA ....

It's a PGA motherboard, but the BIOS doesn't support CPUs better than dual core i5s..

EDIT: Your motherboard might support the i7-4702MQ....

If it was that would be so cool lol

You can't change CPU in laptops unless its a very old laptop with pentium or core 2 duos

or top of the line laptops with lga 1151 sockets

Yeah Some laptops used to have sockets, such as Socket P, G1, G2 and finally G3....

After Haswell, everything became BGA.

His particular laptop has a G3 PGA socket...

must have typed the wrong model number in google

I'm sry

Yea sadly although even if it was non soldered the support for cpus for laptops was probably really bad just like what mxm was

There is no need XD ...

His laptop supports up to an i7-4702MQ which is a noticeable upgrade if he can find it for cheap...

But most of them are overpriced (200$) , thus it's not worth it.

@YuiLow make sure to see my edit.

Although compatibility was hell, but still u can get some nice updates for cheap later down the line...

Yea totally and if you managed to get the right bios 

Support and maybe if the power brick had sufficient power delivery 

But it would probably pop another problem 

Bottleneck

thanks and I did search it yeah that cpu would work

Though it sounds ironic, but laptops used to be built with some overhead, for example all i3, i5 and i7 models used to share same mobo and charger and cooling solution.

As long as all of them had an IGPU, and supported by BIOS, it was basically flawless...

But it required some deep digging..

A least u have and option and a CHANCE of upgrading.

Anyways we are getting off topic, and i agree with u.

It was HELL .

And now today you see a laptop with a 9980HK and then the GPU is a 1050ti

A Ryzen 9 4900HS with an rtx 2060.... it triggered me.

That thing would not bottleneck an RTX 2080 max Q.

or an i7 9750H with a 1650....

I HATE legitimately HATE when they pair a coffee lake or a kaby lake i7 with a 1050ti or equivalent 

Like I don't understand frame time will be terrible 

After a couple of years there will be a Bottleneck 

WHAT DO THESE COMPANIES THINK LMAO

That's why OEM stuff is overpriced....

Bad combos.... 

if u build a PC with the same specs it would be more expensive, but u can build one with more suitable parts with a higher bang for buck for the same cost and get much better performance....
