Upgrade CPU

[Willbo]

Is it possible to update a CPU within a laptop?

My GF has got an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL50 at the moment which runs at 1.6Ghz but without going to the expense of a new laptop is it possible to upgrate it so say a 2Ghz?

The laptop in question if it helps is an Acer Aspire 5102WLMi

i think it should be possible, what your looking for is probably the following CPU -
Turion 64 X2 TL-60 Socket S1
however that CPU is 35W thermal load while your current one is 31W. so i couldn't say whether it would overheat the laptop or not.
Best to try find people that have upgraded their AMD laptops.
