I know you could with old socket 754 AMD chips, and probably many others, but as a rule if you have to ask this, no, you can't. there are concerns like cooling, motherboard compatibility, etc.

Can you replace the CPU on your laptop with a larger one?

Laptops are the tiniest computer that can do exactly the same stuff as a normal desktop computer. Because of the very limited space inside a laptop case, the manufacturers can't use a desktop computer's CPU in their laptops, so they have to go proprietary. If you havn't heard this before, it means non-replaceable, or non-interchangeable. This means you can't whip out the old CPU and whack in a new one, because the hardware configuration would be different. Although most manufacturers (mostly the brand name ones) choose to go with proprietary CPUs, some stay with universal hardware configurations. If in doubt, research the laptop you have and see if you can get hold of a faster CPU. If you can't, just get a new laptop!
