Mobile Processor Upgrade?

Does anyone know where I could find a good tutorial on changing my mobile processor?

I'm ordering a Gateway P-6831FX which comes with a T5450, and I was thinking of upgrading to maybe a T7250 (Newegg). Normally I would just buy a newer model from gateway with a better cpu, but this way i would be saving several hundred dollars.

Please help me on this!!

Upgrades to laptops are very limited. Mostly, it's the assembly/ manufacturing process. In order to hold the costs down, it's mostly a "unibody" chassis and circuitry, all permanently attached together. You can swap drives, and you can usually access the SODIMMs (RAM) to swap them for larger capacities. At least 90 %, possibly even 95 %, of laptops come with only a video chip, and no way to change that in favor of a real video card, so that large majority simply cannot perform well enough to play games.

At the very top tier, a few laptops are available with factory-accessible video cards and in some cases, socketed CPUs that can be swapped. These are generally far more expensive than most people are willing to pay.

Hey dude, i hope you have a chance to see this web page!

It explains you how to disarm the P6831 (i have one myself an im planning on doing it) and install a new processor.
