sandik Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 How hard would it be to upgrade the processor? Where would I find out if it would be able to take a higher speed processor?
yuyi64 Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Pretty crappy processor compared to the other BF laptops in that price range from other retailers. For that price I would expect at least AMD Athlon X2 or Intel Dual Core.

yuyi64 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Yeah..for a Sempron, they need to knock another $100 off. But not gonna happen.It might happen later on, closer to Christmas. Remember they just had a $299 laptop a couple of weeks ago, and $299 would be a reasonable price for this one too.
