Inexpensive, easy to replace, small and compact and works very well.
Worked perfectly. As laptop motherboards go it was easy to install. Had to replace the mobo due to a torn power connector. The cost of the mobo plus some simple work on my part (no soldering required) was much cheaper than a service repair which can cost hundreds.
Original motherboard died, older version. Upgraded to i5-7200. Upgrade seems to be working just fine. Time will tell, but so far looks like a home run.
