okay, so I have an acer aspire 5560 laptop with the following current specs:
AMD A6-3420M
Socket FS1 (905)
8GB DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6520G
500GB Seagate SSHD

is there any faster cpu I can upgrade this to? and anything I can do to upgrade the graphics (as the the acer driver downloads websites has a bios update for this to support radeon hd 7670m graphics)

I know laptop CPUs are upgradable as I upgraded my hp g72 from a Pentium p6100 to a i7 620m but that had a service manual with all the supported parts listed whereas this doesn't.

thanks

and I have opened this up before, the cpu isn't soldered onto the motherboard
 
Solution
I am not familiar with the Acer lines but if the 5560 and 5560g are identical apart from CPU you could. My experience with laptops is though it is easier just to upgrade the whole thing instead of speculate.

so would I be able to use the apu from a 5560g in a 5560? or find the best one using the chipset, socket, wattage?
