is there a difference between desktop cpu and laptop cpu?

[nope mcsentry]

someone trashed a modded lenovo and i found it and cleaned it up, dosent run that good and had some viruses on it , but had expensive fans and a 2.0Ghz processor ( its the biggest ive used) and my main laptop has a 1.0 Ghz processor, i wanna swap these. would that work?

No they are completely different, the sockets are completely different, you can't interchange them.

Laptops almost all have soldered cpu on the motherboard. They also use different sockets. Laptop cpus almost all have integrated graphics as well.
Almost always you cant change the cpu, and you simply cant with a desktop cpu.

what he said but there are laptops you can build your self but they are rare and generally cost a lot.

Actually most laptops are pga and not soldered.

No, you cannot put the desktop CPU into your laptop.
