    Default upgrading sandy bridge to ivy bridge?

    According to this article: Intel Ivy Bridge 2012 Laptops - Advantages and Improvements We’ll See

    "Despite all these changes the new Ivy Bridge processors will be backwards-compatible with the current Sandy Bridge platform and will only require a BIOS/firmware update to work in existing laptops."

    So can I get myself an clevo 8150 , and upgrade to an ivy bridge if I find it worthwile ?

    What are you using your computer for? Most users will not see any benefit by upgrading their CPU, especially if they are using a dedicated GPU.
    Disappointed.

    it would be for gaming/school work (CATIA, etc). I just wanted to know if it was upgradeable with ivy bridge, not that I will be necessarily doing it..

    Thanks

    It really depends on the laptop you purchase, I'm sure that even if it were possible, not all manufacturers will allow it.
    Disappointed.

    For starters, Ivy Bridge is not even out. Intel has said the desktop ones can be upgraded. Even if the mobile could be upgraded, your manufacturer's BIOS would have to allow it. If you have no BIOS support, kiss Ivy Bridge good bye.
