Older laptops are known to have their CPUs soldered onto the motherboard. There's no real way of knowing until you take it apart and check for yourself. A quick google search could possibly tell you but if it's a lesser known laptop then the information may not be there.

Actually, most older laptops had replaceable/upgradable CPU's. Older gaming laptops even had replaceable/upgradable GPU's. These days most/all laptops(both gaming and non-gaming) have both the CPU and GPU integrated into the motherboard.

Yah, Im planning on gettting an Intel NUC 7 w/ i5 from Amazon sometime this month, and it said in the product details that the the processor was non-removable. I looked on YT for any videos detailing how to remove them but i didn't find anything.
