This list is intended to provide preliminary information to users of laptops equipped with Intel GL960 chipsets. Laptops listed here have been tested for potential upgrade paths for both processors and system memory.

Processor and system memory upgrades can be determined by using the colored bars, found at the bottom of each laptop model entry, as a key:

  • No upgradability options
  • System memory upgrades only
  • Processor and system memory upgrades

Please note that this list is a work-in-progress, and will be updated over time. If your laptop is missing from this page, please do send me an email and it'll be added to the page once upgrade options can be provided (please do include any upgrade attempts that you've tried in the email).
