Dell Inspiron N5050 Questions
I'm thinking of getting a Dell Inspiron N5050 from Argos (link)
Here are my questions:
1.I understand you can upgrade the CPU in this model but what can I upgrade the CPU to(hopefully Ivy Bridge)?
2.What is the graphics in this model(I think it's an Intel HD 3000 but I'm not sure)?
3.When I upgrade the CPU and there's a GPU on it like a HD 4000 will I be able to use that?
4.What's the max RAMof this model?
5.Does it have USB 3.0?
6.Does it output in full HD via HDMI port?

1. Yes, you can upgrade. Don't count on Ivy Bridge though - yes, the socket is the same but there are enough restrictions on upgrading it likely won't work.
2. The default is HD3000, yes.
3. Yes.
4. 8G officially -- it may take 16, but no guarantee.
5. Yes.

I'd still like more answers about Ivy Bridge.
