I have an Samsung laptop RC730 S09 and the cpu is currently an Intel core i5-2430M. I would like to upgrade the CPU and the GPU. Cooling on my laptop is no Problem because I just bought a notebook Cooling pad and it works great!
With no Cooling pad the CPU was almost 100°C hot!
And with it 79°C.
Is there any way to upgrade my CPU and/or GPU?

The existing external GPUs enclosures can only connect via Thunderbolt, which you laptop doesn't have.
Yes, but its very dangerous.

First, unmountin your laptop can be pretty hard and you can possibly damage the board or some other components.

For the CPU: You need to buy a M series CPU (very hard to find, pretty expensive and needs to be compatible), use a solder iron to un-solder the CPU from the board(you may short the CPU connectors), solder the new N series CPU(you may burn youself or damage the CPU)

For the GPU: 2 possible options.
1. The GPU is powered by a connector and linked to th MB by a cable, it may be easy. Choose a laptop GPU that can fit and i'ts done.
2. The GPU is soldered on the board and you need to repeat the same steps as the CPU. It may not be working because the graphics RAM may not be compatible with the new GPU and you need one with the same socket(almost impossible to find)

Conclusion: If you want to upgrade your performance, buy a new laptop and trasfer the data by swapping the HDD or the SSD and make a backup of your files in a external HDD
 


 
What if... what if I could buy this external GPU device and play with a desktop GPU?
Tbh the cpu isn't that crappy. But the GPU is.
Is it possible to connect this external GPU device to my notebook? (RC730 S09)
 


yes but i won't make that much difference. I own one but i only have 5-10 fps more..
PS: can you select Best solution on an awnser i hate not seeing green
