Cpu upgrade acer aspire v3-531

[Daniel Cappadona]

I have acer aspire v3-531 , can I upgrade the processor?

Intel Pentium B960 2,2ghz
8gb ram ddr3
500gb HDD
Intel hd Graphics

It's a laptop, so very unlikely. The processor may actually be embedded to the board and laptops are very limited in power distribution.

I found that i have socket rPGA988B , however maybe i can replace it with a Core i5-2520M?
I opened the computer its not embedded to the board.

Given that, I'd probably follow the upgrade advice given here (CPU-World.com). It appears the new CPU is compatible with the socket and has the same TDP, but it's still up to the manufacturer specs and whether they allowed for upgrades.
