If it is an older laptop more than likely you won't be able to upgrade.
If it is a newer laptop, you can likely easily upgrade the processor.
To upgrade:
first dissassemble the laptop to the point you have access to the system board. A manual for dissassembly can often be fetched from the manufacturer's website. After you dissassemble the system to the system board, you will take off the heatsink or other cooling device, if applicable. A metal device covering a CPU, and often other components, and takes the head from it and to somewhere else. In a laptop, it often is a device covering the CPU, video card or other devices, and has a metal bar atop it going to where the fan is. To remove a heatsink or other cooling device from the top of a CPU, it is recommended you unscrew the screws holding it on in the 1-2-3 order indicated on top of the screws, if the numbers are present. Then, remove the processor. There will likely be a switch or lever, which can be easily moved to unsecure and resecure the CPU into the socket.
After the CPU is replaced, be sure to coat the top of it with a little thermal material, which helps transfer the heat from the CPU to the heatsink or other cooling device.
Note:
It is recommended you wear clothes which aren't too baggy, and have an anti-static mat to stand on while performing the operation, an anti-static bag to place components in while performing the operation, and perform the operation in a workplace with very little static electricity.

How you create Computer animatronics?
It is similar to what is used in robotics but without the adaptability. Robotics grade servos provide the motion and can be controlled by an embedded CPU chip. The chip can be a simplie chip such as the ATOM processor or can be up to a PC-level chipset.
What is the significiance of the triangle on one corner of the CPU?
It has a white Triangle The previous answer is quite useless. The triangle marks where pin 1 is on the CPU. When installing a CPU into the socket, the installer lines up the triangles so the CPU fits correctly into the socket.

What part of the computer does the processing?
The central processing unit (CPU) is the part of a computer that processes data. In the past, the CPU itself used to take up a large cabinet that was full of many circuit boards. Nowadays, multiple CPUs fit inside a single chip, and that chip fits onto a single circuit board known as a motherboard.
What is the storage capacity of cache memory?
Cache memory is a type of memory. It does not dictate a specific quantity. The actual amount varies and can best be determined by looking up the specifications for your particular CPU chip.
