Hi,

Thank you for reaching us.

I am afraid that a processor upgrade isn't possible on any Dell laptops as most processor's are soldered to the system board. It can be configured only at the point of sale

We haven't tested i7 2670QM on this model.

The complete list of processors we had tested and shipped with this model are given below.

  • i3 2370M
  • i3 3110M
  • i5 2450M
  • i5 3210M
  • i5 3320M
  • i5 3360M
  • i7 3520M
  • i7 3612QM

Hope that answers your query.

Thank you

The answer isn't completely correct.  This model is one of the last that does use a socketed, replaceable processor - you can upgrade it with the list give.

Bear in mind that you will want a higher-capacity power adapter if you go with the i7-Q CPU (if you now have 90W, you'll want at least 130 if not 150 for a quad i7).
