    Even if you can upgrade the CPU, it is still a 7th generation Intel CPU, and the cost involved will be still significant, like close to USD $380. There is another question whether the power requirements for the new CPU may be higher than the i7-7200U.

    If I were you, I'll apply the money to be used for CPU upgrade, adding a little bit to it and get an eleventh generation CPU PC. The performance increase from 7th to 11th generation will be very great. The new machine will allow using the latest technologies. Compare the CPU benchmarks before committing  for that.

    Hi @chanfanchong,
    The CPUs with the suffix U mean it's soldered to the motherboard, so you can not upgrade the CPU in your model.
