UPGRADATION OF MY DELL LAPTOP PROCESSOR

Mr. Farooq thanks for your reply, can you tell me if I replace my current i5 4200u by i5 ULV/ i7 ULV processor what could be the improvement in performance?

Secondly, where can I upgrade it? And, how much will be the cost of upgradation? Any contact information or link regarding this will be very helpful.

Thank You in advance once again.

Hi Sandipanarnab,

The Inspiron 3537 supports 4th Generation Intel Core™ i7 ULV and Intel Core™ i5 ULV processors and the maximum memory supported is 16 GB with 1600 MHz DDR3L memory type.

The performance increase will be tied to the applications you run - if they're processor-intensive (games, spreadsheets) it'll be more significant than for word processing, browsing, etc.

Note that to do the upgrade, the entire mainboard must be changed - not just the CPU.  The CPU is soldered to the board.  The cost of a board with an i7 CPU will be $300+.  Add another $100 or so for labor and you're likely better off selling the system and buying a new one.

Thanks for your reply, I had actually considered this option before posting this question, but as the cost of such a configured laptop in India is more than 1100$ and as my laptop is only more than a year old thus, I gave up on this. And, considered upgrading it. Anyhow thanks for your reply, I will be grateful if you can tell me where can I upgrade this, will it be upgradable at local Dell service center?

Dell does not support CPU upgrades - you'll need to find a board and install it yourself, or have a local shop do the job.

You may need other parts (upgraded power supply for one) as well as the board/CPU -- and if there's a warranty on the system, replacing the mainboard will void that warranty.
