Does this Vidock connects via USBnikstar said:I saw at the web people that have been upgrade their CPU at the 4530s without problems.
So if someone needs more power (i7 CPU for example) there is a solution
Also what do you think about this?
Do you think it will work under Lion?
I saw somewhere at the web, someone upgrade his CPU from i3 to i7. He post back everything was ok temps are 2-5 degrees higher than the i3. Power consumption probably was increased but I think this is not so big deal.Inmike09 said:I am interested in upgrading my i3 to the i7, but I am not sure if the power needs are compatible. It says thermal design for the i7 is 45 watt while the i3 is 35 watts. Is this ok? Would a straight swap work?
