most laptops these days have the processors soldered directly to the motherboard.

what CPU does your laptop currently have? (a CPU-Z screenshot would be handy)

Yeah I thought it being soldered may be the case but im not entirely sure, i figured this is one of the better places to ask

yes you could upgrade the processor but it will cost you a fortune hence new processor still expensive.

I don't believe that to be the case for the majority of laptops, some ultraportables and netbooks do but most mainstream stuff is socketed.

so i could get one of these put in with relatively little trouble?
