I might be jumping the gun, because it's only been installed for a bit over a week. Anyway, so far, so good. The CPU, along with a new SSD, has sped up the laptop quite noticeably. As for installation, it's certainly doable (I did it) if you are handy and are willing to take the time and proceed methodically. Otherwise, get an experienced person to do it for you. By the way, the CPU arrived very well packaged and several days before the original estimated arrival date.

The installation of the CPU went flawlessly. Replaced my dead Pentium B950 I never tought this laptop could preform that well. The way the CPU was packaged scared me at first (wrapped in plastic with bubbles) but it was packed very well. No bent pins, nothing. Absolutly no termal paste left on it. Super clean. It's funny how my B950 often got over 96C, but this one... Even though it has 10W higger TDP I haven't seen it go higher than 82C with Prime 95 running. I love it.

Great condition, great price. Easy installation. Just pooped it in, and it was ready to go. Didn't really know if it would work, as one is a socket type A, and this is a socket type B. Worked perfectly! This is currently the best processor I can get with my laptop, Dell Inspirion N7110.

Upgrad d from the core i5 that came factory several years ago. This processor runs a higher wattage, but it's never working hard. I'm not a gamer, just a student. With an older SSD, it takes about 40 seconds to restart, and 13 seconds to power up from a shutdown. No more waiting. The install itself is a bit tricky, lots of screws and a certain order to it, if you're good with keeping track of that kind of stuff it's no big deal. I maxed out my ram to 8 GB at the same time. This thing keeps cool temps. BIOS 221 is the most current. All in all, it took about 2 hours from start to finish, including getting the new BIOS, cloning the old harddrive, and powering back on. I would do it again.

This processor has been a great upgrade for my laptop. Very easy to install and when I received it the product was clean and didn't look like it had been pulled out previously. Excellent addition along with a 2TB HD and 16GB memory upgrade.
