Hi:

 

The processor is an integral part of the motherboard, and cannot be upgraded unless the motherboard is replaced with one listed in your notebook's service manual that has support for a better processor.

 

IMHO, it would not be worth replacing the motherboard as it would probably be pretty expensive to do.

 

You would need to replace the motherboard and then buy a processor and according to the manual, the best processor you can install would be the Intel Core i5 3230M.

You're very welcome.

 

I forgot to mention that you would also need to buy a different fan/heatsink assembly.

 

Way too much work.
