hello

was curious if there is an motherboard that supports an i7 processor for my hp dv4-2165dx laptop to replace its motherboard that only supports the i3 processor.

thank you much!

There might be one if there is an identical model but differently spec'd that comes with an i7, if there isn't then no... Most laptops have their hardware made to match the case (or the other way around).

Also, changing ANYTHING in a laptop is a major pain, you are just better off spending some money on a half decent desktop; even if it is spec'd "lower" - laptop parts are vastly inferior to their desktop equivalents.

Hope I helped :)
