I wonder if its possible to swap the base i5 2410m in the mbp 13 to the i7 2630qm, since the cooling of the laptop as far as I see was planned with the previous version in mind, thus raising the tdp. So I wonder if its possible to do that

you would need to swap the logic board as the CPU is soldered to the board.

I'm not sure whether the new Intel CPUs are soldered to the logic board as the Core 2 Duo MBPs used socket CPUs. However, the truth of that is irrelevant given that the MBP13 couldn't possibly handle the cooling necessary for such a CPU.

yep I was just reading that apple dont use the i5 2410m but the i5 2415m, which uses the same connector as an ulv processor, so no dice at all

Ah darn it, my MBP model (13", mid-2010) is also soldered.

all Intel Mac laptops Apple has ever made are all soldered on.. no sockets.
mbp 13 swap to i7 2630qm?
