I want to upgrade my Toshiba satellite laptop, I currently have the attached cpu (i3) and would like to upgrade it if possible to an i7 or i5, can anyone point me in the direction of anything compatible please.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Gray1 many thanks for your reply, no I haven’t yet, the guy who repaired it was a bit vague as to what I was to get for him to upgrade, I’ll see if I can locate it later and post an update.

    After pokeing around a little more on the internet. I found another I3-380m that shows a socket PGA988. That one might be upgradeable. You need to find which one you have. I would download a program called HWinfo. It will show which socket you have. It is a free download. https://www.hwinfo.com/download/
