Hi, @NaufalAL 

 

As far as I can tell, the processor is removable and can be upgraded.

 

Chapter 3 of the service manual lists the supported processors.

Looks like you can upgrade to the i5-3230M or the i5-3210M processor.

 

There is also a procedure to remove and replace the processor in chapter 4.

 

It would be a lot of work for very little performance improvement in my opinion.

 

You'd be much better off replacing the 500 GB mechanical hard drive with a 500 GB 2.5" solid state drive (SSD).

No, you can't upgrade its CPU because CPU is embedded  to its system board. I wooldn't spend money more to upgrade it. Saving money and buy new machine.
