Question ASUS X550LA CPU Upgrade

[spdtechman]

What would be the latest/fastest CPU I could upgrade to for an ASUS X550LA currently with an i7-4500U, 2700 MHz?

If you look for the motherboard, you'll see that the processor is soldered onto the motherboard. If you want to up the processor, you'll have to swap out the entire motherboard. I've also been looking at the specs to the laptop and the highest I'm finding is the i7-4500U, so you're at the end of the road in terms of an upgrade for the processor.
