Solution R_1 Feb 2, 2016 the service manual says that an i5 or an i7 can be run in that system. page 72 http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_vostro_notebook/vostro-3400_service%20manual_en-us.pdf http://ark.intel.com/products/49666/Intel-Core-i7-640M-Processor-4M-Cache-2_80-GHz this is the i7 that shipped with the vostro 3400. the one you showed is a higher power unit that will make more heat and drain the battery much faster. stay with a 35W CPU. the 720qm is a 45W unit
