I've had my laptop for 5 years now and it's getting a bit slow. I have a i3 processor right now, is it possible to change it to an i5 or i7?

Processor is soldered. See pages 28 of the Service Manual. There are so many motherboard options because the motherboard includes the processor i.e. its soldered on

Need the specific model. Even 5 years ago many laptops had the processor soldered to the motherboard making upgrade impossible without also replacing the whole motherboard. 

 

If you do not already have it, a solid state drive may be a better easier upgrade.

NO. See the moderators removed it because the serial number is private to you. Need model or product number.
