    It's soldered on. I'm sorry :( This is VERY common in low power CPU. Something about giving more clearance to a CPU HSF in a small form factor.

    It's alright. I don't own a X100e yet. :D

    Thanks for the answer though. :)

    all X series cpu is soldered onto the motherboard, to save on height space. So you got to choose carefully in terms of the cpu you choose, as CPU upgrade would involve replacing the CPU.

    fixed ;)

    get one with a dual core one already in. The shop I work at has a single core model on display (which is mostly why I got an x100e in the frist place),and I can definetely notice the difference. The single core feels like an Atom,the Turion Neo feels like a Pentium Dual core
