I was just wondering if i could swap laptop cpus if they're the same chipset. The battery in my old laptop exploded and I was thinking of getting a new one but I don't really have too much money for a new one. I was thinking getting a laptop with a cheaper cpu and then swapping them?

Firstly, if you are planning to swap the CPU, what is the laptop going to be? Processor model also needed.
