Is CPU upgrade possible in Clevo n850hk1?

[AqUa24]

Hi. I bought Clevo n850hk1 with 1050ti and i5 7300hq. All I want to know - is it possible to upgrade it and change CPU to i7 7700hq in future? Isn't it soldered or something? If is it possible where could I buy it? I don't want to do it now, but maybe in future, after few years.

That CPU is soldered to the motherboard, so upgrading really isnt an option unless you get a whole new board, which usually costs almost as much as the laptop itself.

Are you sure it is soldered in this model?

Yes. The HQ models of Intel CPU's all get soldered in. They are designed that way for mobile/laptops.

Can't you just unsolder that CPU and solder a different CPU that has the same power and socket specifications?
