So I'm thinking about upgrading my laptop...

Okay, so I wanna upgrade my CPU. I've been doing some research, and the whole theory of it is rather complex. So far I have 1 question:

For what variables should I keep a look out? I read that different processors have different slot types, and something about setting voltage amounts inside the BIOS. Seems complex and I never was too hardware-savvy.

Cache, socket, and pin configurations. Also keep in mind the multiplier, having an i7 in a non-i7 capable laptop would be bad.

In all honesty... it may be cheaper to keep an eye out for deals and buy a brand new laptop. If mobility isn't too big of a concern, a desktop would be a better investment in funds. Laptops are a pain to deal with simply because all the parts are basically proprietary, as you cram them into such a small case.
