[SOLVED] Upgrade 4th gen laptop cpu

[ThrallFW]

I have an HP p048ne laptop with an i7 4510u. I want to know if I can upgrade it to an I7 4910mq. I also would like to know if the display can be upgraded.

You cant change the CPU, the i7 4510u has a BGA socket which means it is soldered to the motherboard.

Most laptops from the past 10 years or so don't have sockets since all semi-modern laptop CPUs are BGA-only. The only laptops with sockets are those based on desktop chips and those have become quite rare in the age of ultra-portable devices.
