Processor upgrade in HP ab032tx?

[Rohan Rathi]

So, my friend has a 032tx with i5-5200u and it bottlenecks like hell.
He wants to know whether the processor can be upgraded by any means.

I'm sure you cant cause of bga socket in laptops, but is there any method (motherboard replacement etc) by which the cpu can be replaced?

Any help appreciated.

my friend was planning to buy the laptop, how bad is the CPU ?

 

[Rohan Rathi]

Pretty bad, it causes sever bottleneck especially in RTS games. Th worst part is that its dual core.

 

[Nerevarine]

which game specifically ? damn these ULV processors lol

He said the cpu sucks ass in AC 4, BF 4, age of empires 3 (lol). Even my i7 bottlenecks, but only in StarCraft 2 which is understandable.

Aur bhi games hai, the gpu never runs at 100% usage ever.
