Swapping laptop APU.

[Ephixxa]

So, I have this Acer laptop here (E5-551-89TN). I was wondering if it was compatible with the newer a10 chips. It's currently running an a8-7100. I'm aware that sometimes processors are soldered onto the mobo, but I have a hard time finding technical specifications for this one on the internet. If possible, Which is the best processor could I place in there, if any? Benchmark comparisons would be cool too.

The apu is probably soldered into the socket and desktop and laptop processers are not interchangable

If its not soldered you can have up to the latest model.

Oh, I wasn't planning on trying to fit a desktop APU in there, heavens no. I was going to find a mobile chip on eBay or something. I HAVE swapped a processor back in the day on a dell laptop that was running on pentium.

Do you know the latest model processor by chance?
