I have a dell laptop 15n n5050 with an intel core i3 "stock processor" I am upgrading to 8MB of memory soon. I had a few questions I would like to have answered. First I want to say I have been a dell user my entire life and will never use or recommend another brand.
questions
1) I want to upgrade the cpu. What will this model support? i5? i7? please explain if possible and let me know what the fastest chip is that I can add
2) If a faster chip is added does this change my options for more memory? rather than a 4x2MB upgrade can I do a 8x2mb upgrade.
3) as for the hard drive it is obviously SATA 5400 500gig ... I dont think this is going to be an issue but just in case. Can I upgrade the HD to a oh.. 1tb at 10000 RPM?
4) lastly the battery life SUCKS, it's the only feature I do not like.. Can a better, longer lasting battery be added to the computer.
Please respond and help with these questions .
