While its possible, I know they did offer an i5-3xxx processor in at least one version of that model, you may also have to change the power supply board and the heatsync assembly to power & cool the processor. You're ultralow voltage processor may even have a different motherbd in it completely. You've got some researching to do

Also keep in mind it may be cheaper and quicker to buy a better laptop and then sell your old one.

Unfortunately no, you cannot upgrade your laptop's processor. Certain processors in laptops can be upgraded, however your processor cannot be replaced.

Your current CPU is for a BGA socket, which basically denotes that your processor is soldered onto your motherboard; hence unfortunately cannot be replaced.

Apologies for breaking the news, regardless all the best.
