Question Can you change the CPU of the ASUS Vivobook 15 Go (Model E1504G)?

[CyberwareRunner]

Recently got a Asus Vivobook 15 Go (E1504G), i was wondering if it were possible to upgrade the CPU. I started to look for what CPUs could be compatible with the board but run into a snag on finding out what the motherboard name and type was. So if anyone can find the motherboard name and type, along with the CPUs that could work, that would be great.

Alright. Thanks. While I'm here, which would be a more sound investment for gaming, The ASUS ROG Ally or a gaming pc with the same budget (600-700)?

I have zero experience with the Ally, so no opinion.
Generally, though..a regular PC is better.

I see the Ally as an alternative to an Xbox or playstation, not a PC.

Or a laptop alternative, just have to plug it into a set of peripherals and you can use it as a PC easily.

Just depends on what type of portable experience you want.
