I really want to try get an i7 for this, but I want to know if I actually could. I heard that you CAN change laptop's processors and this one's able to. If not I'm going to plan on buying a new one.
 
From a quick image search it looks like the motherboard has a CPU socket, if that is true, the answer is you can change the CPU. If not, then the CPU is soldered to the board and not able to be changed.

As far as going from i5 to i7, you have to make sure it's for the same socket.
