That depends a lot on the make and model number of your notebook. The list of processor models that use this socket is detailed below. Generally you need to stick with one of the options it came out with. The reason for this is that the manufacturers design the system for maximum heat dispersion for the range of processors and graphics fitted to it. Go above the range, and you stand a good chance of overheating the system and breaking something.

Very few notebooks have embedded processors - net-books and smaller may use embedded processors.

you cant replace cpus in a laptop

edit:

well since people seem to constantly show that they are fundamentally stupid, ill tell you why you cant change a laptops cpu.

1) Motherboard compatibility. Even if your motherboard uses xxx socket, doesnt mean you can use every cpu that uses xxx socket. The motherboard has to support your specific cpu. Which most laptop motherboard only support a very small list of cpus. (as they are made custom for the cpus those model laptops can use).

2) cpu TDP. The motherboard and battery/charger are made specifically for a cpu using the TDP of the cpu installed into the computer. Installing a CPU with a higher TDP may not only not work, but if it does, it may drain more power then you cn give it through your AC adapter, meaning your computer will keep shutting off after the battery drains.

3) Heat. Upgrading a cpu will likely put off more heat, which the current design may not be able to handle, which can cause all sorts of problems.

4) price. Laptops cpus cost alot more then desktop cpus. like a sandy bridge core i5 costs like $500.... you can fking buy a brand new laptop for that....

Just by itself #4 means upgrading laptop cpus is impossible, as anyone who would is a fking retard.... specially when you factor in, the EXTREMELY small chance the cpu will actually work in your laptop...
