I have this computer and it often has trouble fitting my needs. Getting a new computer is out of the question, but I want to upgrade. The socket of the two processors is the same, BGA1356. Before I commit to buying the i7, I would like to know if the BIOS and motherboard can even run it.

Hi Doc Yellow
The processor is soldered into the mainboard

it is designed not to be user replacement.....

I believe you, I just don't see how this answered that. Also, in step 8, if you zoom in, the processor looks very removable, it even has an arrow.
Hi Doc Yellow
BGA1356 is soldered directly to the mainboard
those chips dun come cheap either!

the arrow is meant for the alignment of the mainboard to the correct pin contact orientation.
