Can you replace a Sony Vaio VPCEB3J1E CPU?

Lots of things I gotta say

-You cannot replace laptop CPUs as they are soldered (its like school glue for electronics) on to the motherboard.
-If it was a desktop, I wouldn't do it. Prebuilt desktop motherboards often use low wattage sockets to prevent the end user from upgrading.
-Companies also use the "OEM" version of Windows that makes you have to get another copy to perform upgrades.

Not necessarily. Some laptops do have the CPU in a socket. A Sony VAIO? Doubtful.
And the OEM (for Win7 anyway) only yells at you if you change the motherboard.

Its better to be safe than sorry. I wouldn't take the chances because motherboards on prebuilts have very low wattage going to the socket because they use ULV CPUs, therefor making replacing that with an consumer CPU very hard.
