Hey, hey,

I'm using this laptop with the following model number: 

N1K4LGE 24474LG 

It was a very attractive buy. The only thing that was boring me after time was the core i5 3320M cpu. A little bit of researching and I found out that the model is very similar to other w530 models. So it have to be possible to replace the cpu. Possible yes. But I've found no comments about a successful replacement. Ok, this could be a problem. With a little bit of luck I was able to catch an intel i7-3610qm. How described in the fru list from lenovo this processor should be supported and it's tdp of 45W is matching the core i5 spec. Additionally I upgraded the ram to 12GB.
