I have an Acer Aspire E1-531 manufactured on 2013. I remember the box label having the specs of the laptop and I saw something about i3/i5. I've done my research and seen people saying the "Intel HM70 Express" chipset is only compatible with Celeron and Pentium CPUs but then why did the box talked about i3/i5 if people keep sayin it's not compatible?
Anywho, I looked at a thread in Acer's page, someone had E1-531 with a different serial number than mines (guessing it was a different sub-model) and the people from Acer listed an Intel Core i3 that was compatible with that one particular E1-531.
If anyone here knows how to find the list, I will leave all the information I have found about my hardware.
