yeah you technically can upgrade cpu's on laptops as long as they're the same sockets, my old hp g61 from 2009 has a single core sempron m100 1.99ghz and I thought of getting a Turion dual core for the hell of it. That single core is just horrible, uses almost all cpu power just on facebook lol.

It's just a pain to do, the cpu is under the keyboard. Just look up a disassembly video on youtube of your laptop. On my newer quad core APU llano laptop the cpu was very easy to replace the thermal paste on, it was located on the bottom of the laptop. It says the socket of mine is Socket S1 (S1g3). Make sure the TDP is the same, like, if your current is 25w I wouldn't use a 35w one for example. It would likely overheat.

Theres no list for upgradeable parts looked around 40 or so sites.

You are pretty much stuck with that 2ghz processor.

I would save up 700 dollars and buy a good laptop from like walmart or where ever.

I am trying to improve the overall speed and performance, I was going to put more RAM in, as well as try to find a ssd for it.

I all so agree with deemo 13 in the other statement.You could find a cpu that could fit but it could all so be soldered in and most likely can't be removed with out damaging the cpu.

Look for the vent on the back or side most likely that would be where your cpu is.It has a tiny fan trying to cool it.

Well the RAM and HDD on mine have unscrewable covers so hopefully once i get in it the CPU will be easily replaceable. Do you have any suggestions for a website to see how to take it apart?

Good luck but i have my doubts as well.I am thinking that your mother board might not take the newer cpu.
