CPU Advice

[BluIceCube]

Hi,
Got a new laptop for my birthday. I picked it, I originally picked a different one but it was out of stock and I was rushing through online because I felt like I was under pressure. Anyway, I found one that looked nice, had 2TB HDD, 8GB RAM but I forgot to look at the CPU

Unfortunately it turned out that I got an Intel Pentium processor, dual core I think it is (not an expert on CPU's). I thought I would have got something half decent, like i3 or i5, even my mum's laptop has i5 or i3, can't remember. My brother just got his new laptop a few weeks ago on his bday and he got a quad core so i'm a bit dissapointed as i'm wanting to start doing youtube videos. Except, I can't do a nice high resolution as I don't have enough processing power. Fullscreen, it just looks blurry and I was just wondering - what CPU is good for recording which isn't ridiculously expensive because i have almost no money now but if I could save to replace the one in my laptop, what should I buy ? It would obviously have to fit the intel pentium socket I have now.

Maybe I should just rob my bro's laptop when he is asleep and record on that :3

Good luck replacing the CPU, normally they are integrated with the mobo.

Thanks for letting me know anyway.[DOUBLEPOST=1469991583][/DOUBLEPOST]

So i'd have to replace the mobo if I wanted a new CPU ?
I might as well just wait until I have enough to build a custom PC.

Why would you rush to buy a laptop? How much did you pay?

lmao if its an laptop ur done bro.... you cant take the cpu out of that thing. An i5 proccesor would do you work although does your laptop have an gpu or is that integrated 2?

Replace it with a potato

When buying a laptop you end up paying twice as much for something half as good... and certainly wouldn't last as long as a desktop.

Laptop model?

Laptop model?

Where can I find that ?
I think it's in the "hp pavilion" range because i had a g6 one before this laptop

My experience with HP laptops is that they're usually on the under or on the top part near the monitor.
