No, you cannot put a PC processor on a laptop. There are many reasons why. Here are some:

  • sizes vary
  • laptop motherboard requirements are different
  • PC processors consume more power and produce more heat

Laptops in general need to be in cool running conditions (ventilated area etc)

Some laptops have incorporated desktop processors, but these are generally inpractical. Processors for laptops are designed to be energy efficient and produce little heat, at the cost of some performance. These are generally not concerns for a desktop processor. Most laptop systems use a different socket than that of a desktop processor, so it is not usually possible to replace a laptop processor with its desktop equivalent, anyway.

Yes. however this is not allways yes since most small netbooks have soldered processors while bigguer laptops use regular cores like desktop pc. you should chek the manual of the laptop to see if it say soldered onboard cpu as is with some desktops all so
