Technically you can since both CPU are socket FCPGA946 which means they are to be soldered directly into the motherboard. However, you are going to face two major obstacles:

1. The BIOS (which contains a list of acceptable CPUs) will likely not recognize the CPU, thus preventing the laptop from booting up.
2. The i7 produces a lot more heat so you are very likely going to have overheating issues.
