Hio, I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 11 Inch with a Pentium N3520 @ 2.16 GHz. What're some upgrades that I could do for the CPU(w/o breaking the bank), as I feel it really holds back this great laptop.

Additional Info: I put in a 250GB SSD, and upgraded to Windows 10. I would like to do light gaming, as I use this at school and during the free time, I don't usually have anything to do. It barely runs Revolution Ace, which is kinda sad really.

In most laptops you cant change the CPU because its soldered into the motherboard. The only solution is buy a new machine if you want a better processor
