Hi I have a sony vaio model pcg-71c11m, could anyone tell me if the cpu can be upgrated with a better one as it is really a s**t?

Thank you in advance,

Since a Google search on that model does not find any hits for the specifications, can you please post a link to the specifications?

That processor is BGA (ball-grid array) and is essentially soldered onto the motherboard. At those low TDPs, you should be careful - even if you have the necessary skills to remove and install a new processor the TDP may not be in your favor.

Short answer: No, you can't upgrade.

I see, thank you.
