[SOLVED] Questions about Laptop CPU Upgrade

[andrewv1]

My laptop is an HP 15dw1001wm, it uses an intel celeron n4020, and i have a spare i7 2600. Am i able to install the i7 in this laptop? is it compatible? is it worth it? im not sure how to find out the specs of the motherboard.

the laptop cpu is solder to the board. and that i7 2600 is a desktop cpu.

Yaa, even my 13 yr old laptop has a non-soldered cpu But we cant exactly say that it doesnt have a non soldered cpu.....

Celeron N4020 is a BGA package.
Ball Grid Array. Soldered to the motherboard.
