Last year ,I bought this laptop and for my normal usage it was pretty good. Now i want to upgrade this laptop for some high usage i.e game engines and some coding. I know the processor in most laptops is soldered in the board nowadays, Is it the same scenario with this laptop also? and if yes is thier any possible way that i can upgrade it without changing the motherboard. It is equipped with 8th-Gen i7 which is pretty good but the number of threads and cores is way less for that graphical engines and editing studios , moreover the base frequency is only 1.80GHz . I also want to change the graphic card for this laptop i.e Nvidia Mx-130(4Gb DDR5) , if this is possible plz suggest me the possible upgrades for this laptop. I also read a previous question on the same model about ram upgrade and decided to upgrade the ram to (16x2) DDR4-2400MHz with Windows 10 Pro

Hi:

 

Both the processor and graphics are integral parts of the motherboard and neither can be upgraded without replacing the motherboard.

 

It has been that way on all notebook PC's since the Intel 5th gen core processors were introduced.
