1) Use 99+% isopropanol (isopropylic alcohol) when wiping any internal components. It dries faster, easily dissolves fingerprints, contact adhesives and thermal paste, doesn't short out components, doesn't affect the plastics and it's easy to get in most countries. 2) before doing this upgrade at home make sure that the laptop can handle the power draw of the new component, especially the CPU 3) make sure that the heatsink can handle a more powerful CPU. Most laptop cooling systems are designed with just 1 CPU in mind: the original one 4) the external GPU can be a pain on some laptops if you don't have an express slot and try to go through the wifi card slot. I know from experience

This is possible , Its possible to change processor by finding one with same volt, same generatrion,same port. Before chnging the ram check the ramtype , speed,voltage and maximum memmory supported by the processor.

[@alienUrbanoDevloper]

I have a HP DV5 Laptop, and I Upgrade the CPU too, i3 350M to i5 560m, My hint is to cover the heatpipes with eletric tape, those black ones, made of ruber... It helps because it prevents the heatpipe to heat the air inside the laptop, You don't have any "heat leak" close to the motherboard... With the i3 it was about 55º celcius idle... now with the tape and more powerful CPU, idle is about 38ºC

you right bro, no difference in picture reproduction quality

[@cathodelite]

Unless u really get a good display for a higher price. Better colour gamut, higher refresh rate, better viewing angle. Then u have to go away from Chimei & get LG or Samsung. Usually it's LG. That's what I see most often when u want a quality display.

You get way better performance when using the external monitor When using the internet monitor the computer has to send the signal to the gpu through a 1x connection and then back to the laptop causing a significant drop in performance When outputting straight from the gpu you get significantly better performance As convenient as it is to use the internal screen and as nice as it is to have a performance increase at all you are leave a lot of performance on the table..there is how good it's running and then there is how good it could be running

I put a 820qm ($26) in a 8440w with a similarly sized heatsink, runs warm but good thermal paste and removal of dust filters goes a long way. Actually runs cooler than my 640m 8440p.
