Motherboard Replacement Dell Inspiron 7537

harambesghost · Nov 11, 2016

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7537, circa ~2014. I'm taking off for college soon, and I was contemplating whether I should invest in an entirely new build or just try to improve the one I have now (I want to keep the touchscreen and I'd like to save as much money as I can). In short, I was wondering whether I can replace the motherboard in my laptop, and then solder in a new processor, SSD, and RAM, and whether this would end up being cheaper than spending $1000 on a new laptop entirely.

For the laptop upgrade, all you can do that are: 1) upgrade to the i7, if you had i3/i5. 2) add the RAM to 16GB. 3) upgrade the SSD to 500GB or 1TB. 4) upgrade the GPU, like the gt750m according to http://notebookplanet.blogspot.com/2013/09/dell-inspiron-15-7537-specs.html Keep in mind you can't replace the MB with other model or brand for the laptop, because all of the I/O or ports connectors layout are not the same.

Recommend to forget about the upgrade the old laptop, and depends on what you want to use the computer for. For games, either buy the games laptop or build your own PC. For daily usage, may use the old laptop.

Thanks! So you're saying that I can't switch out the motherboard, but I can replace the components in it? I had the impression that since the processor, GPU, RAM are all soldered in I can't change them...

Those are for the general upgrading laptop you can do. In your laptop, the cpu is soldered in the MB, and you can't change it, I don't check the RAM or GPU, if they are soldered then you can't.
