Macbook pro Motherboard Processor upgrade

[adityasur1]

I have a Mac book pro with 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 8 b ram and 512 GB hard disk.
I wish to run heavy duty software on it like Adobe Photoshop and editing software and SDKs on it .
I know the specs are not good enough to do these things? I understand that I cannot upgrade the processor !
Is it possible to change the motherboard and then get a i7 or i5 processor ? is it feasible to do that or just buy a new lappy all together ? which is the most economical option ?
Please Help
Thanks in advance !

Nope, the motherboard is specifically designed for that model. To go to an i3 or i5 you'd need to get a new system. Laptops aren't nearly as upgradable as desktops.
