AFAIK no

you need to buy a new lappy

^^it is possible but it's not a good idea
1)it's not worth the trouble
2)it's really costly

^^ Really? But afaik, laptop cpu's are not available as retail but only for oems.

Google karke dekho yaar

^^I know googling but the question was about availabilty of mobile cpu's. Afaik they are not available in retail stores. When did you last time saw a core i3 380m etc available in retail shops?

yup. its really costly as its not available freely. & the supported processors are also limited to a few models.
lastly, some manufacturers solder the processor making it impossible (or a daunting task) to remove the processor.
