On a laptop it's not very practical.
Because you can't swap the motherboard, your options for CPUs are going to be quite limited. Generally, only higher-tier CPUs of that same generation - which draw more power and require more cooling.
Generally a laptop is built designed to provide a specific budget of power to the CPU and has a limited amount of cooling.
Even if you could swap out the CPU, it wouldn't work properly if the laptop couldn't provide the necessary power or cooling.
- farmdve 2y agoI can't say I agree. Back in 2014 a laptop was purchased with a dual-core haswell CPU. 8 years later I revive the laptop by upgrading the CPU to almost the best possible CPU, which is a 4-core 8 thread CPU or 4-core 4 threads, I am unsure which of these it was, but the speed boost was massive. This is how you keep old tech alive. And the good thing about mobile CPUs is that they have almost the same TDP across the various dual-quad versions(or whatever is the norm today).
