I recently got a new Medion Erazer Defender P10 and i've noticed and checked, that the CPU is bottlecapping the laptop. It's quite sad that the CPU limits the GPU as it has great potential, so i started looking for a new CPU but quickly discovered that lots of issues arrise. I want to upgrade from the current Intel Core i5 - 10300H to an Intel Core i3 - 12100F. However i can not find anywhere if the CPU is compatible with the motherboard (sockets and etc), and i've even seen that the CPU can not be upgraded at all??? It would be a big shame if i have to keep using my bottlecapped laptop knowing that it could be running much better with a CPU that is slightly more fit for the graphics card. I really hope the rumors of the CPU's being stuck to the motherboard isn't true, as this would honestly instantly make me loose all my respect for Medion. Something as simple as upgrading a CPU shouldn't be this hard, definitely not when the standard CPU is not capable enough.
