So, i have the toshiba satellite c50-b-13T and I was thinking about upgrading it. The point is that i was told that i might not be able to do it because it is soldered to the motherboard. If i cannot do it myself, where should I do it at ?

I would advise against upgrading CPU on a laptop it would be a waste of $ use it until you get a new one.

I`m not sure if the CPU is soldered in the motherboard in laptops but I doubt it. Try to search in youtube for replacing the laptop CPU.

In order to replace CPU you must know your motherboard 1st and find any CPU that is compatible with your current motherboard.

many surprisingly have CPU upgrade ability with sockets, but they are generally limited in what you can replace it with. in most cases its to replace a damaged CPU rather upgrade to a better one. the gains would be minimal at best.

By what I can see on most of the sites, the cpu can't be upgraded. This is not that surprising as it is a low end laptop. I wouldn't try and upgrade it anyways as it may cost more to do this than buy a new laptop.
