Depends if it is soldered or not. The CPU may also use an unconventional socket making it only applicable to a few laptop motherboards.

[KenjiUmino]

it's probably soldered to the board, and even if it has a socket, the sockets for mobile CPUs are not compatible with desktop sockets. 

 

but hey, the thing turns on and the screen works, so there is a chance the whole thing is still good.

 

try to slam an operating system on if there isn't one installed already and if that goes well ... congratulations, you got yourself a free laptop

About 1/2 the laptops I've ever disassembled had CPU's that wern't BGA (Ball Grid Array) and the other half were (meaning attached to the motherboard in a non-removable fashion.) There's only one way to find out. If the laptop doesn't work then you have nothing to lose by disassembling it to find out.

If the cpu isn't soldered on, there are desktop motherboards out there that support mobile CPUs.

[VGS_XD]

i am definetly gonna check if cpu is soldered but my guess is that it's not still will look arond on net

Here is a desktop board that supports that CPU, though you don't need to get specifically this one if u did buy a board. The socket is PGA988 which is removable. https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16813153199

i am sure i can find a secound hand motherboard for deacent price that will work

Your comment just game me the idea to jerry-rig a laptop motherboard and such inside a homemade computer case for a really thin profile desktop computer.
