    In my opinion,even if you can upgrade the processor in a laptop (they're often soldered in place) it won't be worth the hassle and expense for the modest performance you're likely to gain. If you really need an i7 I suggest you eBay the 4520 while it's still worth something and buy a new i7 4530.
