Can I replace my CPU? If can, is it possible for me to do it manually?

No what I meant was that those listed are the only parts that are possibly upgrade-able in a laptop PC.

That isn't quite true. Some high end laptops have socketed cpu's that can be upgraded. If you are a hardware geek it can still be a pita. Not a task for someone who has to ask if it can be done imho. Most laptops are just made to be thrown away at some point in time. Just like most oem desktops.
