I have a sony vaio laptop vpcec4l1e and i upgraded my memory to 8gb.. i do a little bit of graphic designing and a lot of studio work (music) my computer processor really tends to redline rather quickly and for this i'd want to upgrade...

My question is will i be able to upgrade it and to what version...??? I'd rather the core i7 but will my motherboard be able to handle it?
 
Solution
Laptops are made for the parts they have. All of the quad core i7 are higher power and would generate more heat so wouldn't suggest it. Any of the dual cores are not much of a performance increase.
