I have a Pavilion 17-e049wm. I love the laptop. I was just hoping to get a list of suggested Processors I could upgrade to so that I could play online games more fluidly. I mostly just don't know fitment issues. Thank you in advance.

Yeah not really anything you can do but upgrade to a ssd and maybe get faster RAM. Faster RAM would help in gaming, but it wouldn't really be a cost effective upgrade.
Hi there
Rather tweak your game settings. The processor is already a top line AMD unit.
Unlike Desktops, the CPU's in laptops are soldered on to the motherboard, so you would have to change your board too and potentially even the power supply, depending on what you would install. Expensive exercise.

Oh, really? I have tried tweaking my game settings a bit. It will run fine for awhile then for no reason start glitching. I have no other programs open and have allocated plenty of RAM to it. But, yeah if a new CPU would require a new motherboard too, not worth it. Thank You.
