Can I upgrade my Intel Pentium Quadcore N3700 Processor to Core i5?
My laptop model is ES1-431. Would it be possible to upgrade the Intel Pentium Quacore Processor N3700 to Core i5? Or i7 maybe??
I need to use it for photoshop and adobe illustrator (for work) so a better CPU really is needed.
I know that if I upgrade the processor, I would also need to upgrade the RAM to be compatible with the cpu, right? But I don't know which ones should I upgrade (maybe fan included??), so that it would go smoothly. Can you recommend and advise on what should I buy to make this possible, please?
Or will photoshop and adobe illustrator run smoothly without upgrading the processor? I'll just upgrade the RAM & SSD? And video card too??
Specs:
Intel HD Graphics
2 GB DDR3 L Memory
500 gb HDD

Lessee the N3700 fits a FCBGA1170 socket (1170 pins). An i5-6400 fits a FCLGA1151 (1151 pins ). Might be a little difficult.

No, you can't upgrade.

Why ? My R3 with N3700 runs with an i7. Biggest improvement was a SSD, minor was 8GB Ram.

I didn't find other officially supported CPUs by this platform, by the way if someone put an i5 and it worked...I'm not an Acer employee.0

You're right. I guess it's not worth it.
*Update: Decided to sell it. Thank God, someone bought at Php13,000.00 from orig price Php14k+. Just bought a new one perfect for adobe illustrator.
