HP 8470p

[Boeckel911]

I have a HP Elitebook 8470p laptop that I bought back in 2013 for college. I have upgraded to a 500GB SSD, and the original 4Gigs of ram up to 16Gigs

I was wondering if its possible to upgrade the screen in any way, it already needs replaced due to a small dead spot in the screen.

What would be the best CPU upgrade possible?

 

Thanks for anyone who takes time to help or read this!

Do you want a new screen or a new CPU?

 

Linus did a display replacement on a laptop recently, so I doubt it would be an issue.

I want to replace the screen, just looking for options on putting in a better screen than what was factory.

I also am looking into getting a new CPU for better performance overall.

It was the computer I was recommended to buy in college in 2013, it did everything I needed it to at that time. It chugged along doing any gaming or a heavy workload. After I put the SSD and more ram it did a little better, but not a ton. I travel for work so it had a tough life after college, but was pretty durable. I would definitely recommend it for a shop or light duty computer even being this old.
