What socket does PCS use with i5 2430m CPU?

[Ticktock]

I have ordered the Optimus 11 laptop with the i5 2430m processor for low noise/ longer battery life (I don't use demanding software or games).
The configurator does not state what socket PCS uses next to the i5 2430m.
The link below says it's socket G2:-

I want to make sure that I still have the choice at a later date to put an i7 CPU in if I so wish.

Thanks

if it says the CPU uses G2 then it obviously does, CPUs majority of the time will only fit in one socket, unless they are somehow adapted to too

The reason I ask this is because under the PCS configurator the i5 2520m states PGA988 as below:


Product Matrix Core Frequency Front Side Bus Cache Number of Cores Number of Threads Socket Virtualization Technology Integrated Graphics
Intel® Celeron® B840 1.9GHz N/A 2MB L3 2 2 LGA1155
Intel® Core™ i3-2310M 2.10 GHz N/A 3 MB 2 4 PGA988
Intel® Core™i5-2430M
Intel® Core™ i5 Dual Core Mobile Processor i5-2520M 2.50 GHz (3.20 GHz Turbo) N/A 3 MB 2 4 PGA988
Intel® Core™ i7-2640M 2.8GHz N/A 4MB L3 2 4 Socket G2
Intel® Core™i7-2670QM 2.2GHz N/A 6MB L3 4 8 Socket G2
Intel® Core™ i7-2760QM 2.4GHz N/A 6MB L3 4 8 Socket G2
Intel® Core™ i7-2860QM 2.5GHz N/A 6MB L3 4 8 Socket G2

im not sure then, you would need to contact PCS yourself

There are G1 and G2 sockets. Our chassis can accept socket G2 CPUs (PGA988B) and all the processors listed are socket G2, aka PGA988B.

Thanks PCS a have emailed you but that answers the question -as to whether the Optimus 11 with i5 2430m could take a i7 2670qm at a later date if required - I assume the answer Is yes.
Thank you

Yes - if its on the configurator it can accept it.
