I've had my Toshiba Satellite C55-A5310 for two years, and it has come to my attention that it is not very fast for what I use it for (games, videos, etc.) and I want to change the CPU for something better OR get a better graphics card if possible. I would buy a new laptop, but for it to meet what I want is much more expensive than just replacing the CPU, so I was wondering if this laptop's CPU is able to be changed out. I know some Toshiba laptops have their CPU soldered to the motherboard so I was just making sure. And if I can change it out, would I have to keep it within the Intel i3's or could I get any Intel related CPU. Thank you in advance! =D

Edit: The current CPU is an Intel i3-3120M 2.50 GHz
 


The model of my motherboard is a Portable PC (U3E1)? I used the program Speccy to find this so I don't know if it's accurate.
