i3 to i5

[11Times]

Processor i3 3110m 2.4 can it be changed with i5 without to changed anything else?

no its soldered into the motherboard.

That's a laptop. It depends on the laptop and trying to find the i5 chip. You might be better off building your own computer than trying to upgrade a CPU in a laptop.

even if it can be changed out you would have to make sure that laptop BIOS supports whatever I5 you're planning on getting. Computer manufacturers like to lock down the BIOS limiting upgrade options

it has a bga 1023 socket so that means its sautered to the mobo and you cant change it
