Hey, I have Laptop Acer Aspire E-14 E5-471-52DI so i have Intel Core i5 and Nvidia Geforce @820M
Which mean i want to upgrade both of them so thats mean i must upgrade my motherboard right?
And Can my laptop upgrade the motherboard in the first place?

    Yes, the CPU and GPU are soldered to the mainboard thus not replaceable. There is an i7 mainboard part # NB.MN111.001 with a slightly better 840M but it seems to only be available with an i5. If you haven't done so already, I think you'd get a lot more upgrade bang for the buck by swapping out the HDD for an SSD and maxing out the RAM to 16GB.  Jack E/NJ
