    No it's not. The processor is effectively soldered onto the motherboard.

    One of the few unfortunate circumstances of having an M11X.

    PS: Keep in mind, if you pinmod, it will void your warranty.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if you didn't know how the insides of a notebook worked, then jumping to a pin mod would be a bad idea
