Upgrade alienware 13 r2 motherboard
I have an alienware 13 r2 with an i5-4210u. I'd like to know if it's possible to replace this motherboard with a newest one of the same model with an i7-6500u.

Hi,
Yes, its possible, the system supports an i7-6500u CPU. However, we do not offer those type of upgrade services.

It may be possible, but it's not going to be practical from an economic standpoint, given the almost $700 cost of the board.

(and note that's with just a 30 day warranty).
