As the title says, I'm looking where to buy Mobile CPU's too upgrade my Dad's Laptop as he complains it is very slow. I've looked all over amazon and other websites and it does not seem easy to find these..

Unfortunately, you can't. Most mobile CPU's are soldered. You can't replace it. Buy a new laptop.

Depends on the laptop, but I can assure you that many laptops are able to be upgraded. Many are soldered yes but not all.

Why do they solder it on anyways? does it help keep it cooled?

Because it costs money to make a socket for a CPU, it's cheaper to just solder it on AFAIK, and it's not beneficial, because most of the laptops aren't meant to be upgradable to reduce price point. It's because most upgradable things are more expensive than the non-upgradable counterparts.
