My laptop has recently stopped charging. As I contemplate replacing the laptop vs trying a system board replacement, I'm looking at various systems. One thing that has occurred to me is
taking the i7 and memory from my old system and putting it in a new system. This would allow me to buy something barebones and move my good hardware to it. Or buy something with an i3 and minimal ram and swap it all out.
I looked at some specs on the Intel site and I don't see many differences really between the processors. Are there significant differences? Also, looks like the two processors should have compatible pin configurations. Do they?
Other option in one of the laptops is a celeron processor so I know the i7 would be better. Again, would the pin configuration be compatible?
