Cpu Upgarde Sony Vaio

[Dekio]

Hi, this is my first post on this forum so, I might as well say hi :).

I currently want to buy a Sony Vaio svs131c1em that has an I5 (the seller didnt specify what gen, I hope by the end of the day he'll give me more details), a gt640 LE, 8gb of ram and a 480gb SSD. I was wondering if its possible to upgrade the cpu. Does it have a socket or I might need to solder and whatnot (not really confident to be honest). Thanks in advance guys.

I don’t know the machine. If it’s a desktop the CPU is almost certainly socketed. If a laptop probably not. Soldering will never be an option. You will have to find all the specs on the CPU to see if there is a compatible higher spec part wrt voltages and bus frequencies. It’s worth googling to see what other machines were in the same range as they may well share the same motherboard.

Sorry just generic advice, possibly you already know.

Hi, its a laptop. Wikipedia says that its a G2 type of cpu. Most likely its aa I5 3210m. Which means it might be have a socket?
