That is not an option as the CPU is not socketed.

 

Upgrading  the CPU/GPU  would require a complete replacement of the system board.

That would be a very expensive upgrade, even if you did it yourself to keep the cost down.

It would make more sense to just source a laptop that has the specifications that you want.
