Upgrade processor i5 to i7 in AsusVivo laptop?

[Libere]

Is it possible to upgrade the processor from i5 to i7?

My hardware specs
Model: AsusVivo S550CB
BIOS: S550CB.202
Current Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3337U CPU @ 1.80GHz (4 CPUs), ~1.8GHz
Memory: 6GB

If it is possible, how? Thanks in advance!

No, the cpu is BGA which means it's soldered to the motherboard.

It is very unlikely that you can upgrade because in laptops it is common that the CPU is soldered down to the motherboard plus they have special cooling which is hard to remove. So, to conclude, I don't think it is possible to upgrade your processor. Sorry.

90% chance no. The cpu is probably soldered to the board. Taking apart laptops is very, very hairy anyway. Tiny proprietary screws. Ribbon cables, antenna, keyboards removal etc.... No guarantees that it works when reassembled.
