Hey Lucas,

Sounds like a great idea! Unfortunately, pretty much everything is soldered to the motherboard in the Pixel 2013. Even the RAM and SSD is non-upgradable for this same reason. In general, most laptop CPU’s are non-upgradable, as they are soldered to the motherboard nearly 100% of the time.

If you’re dead-set on upgrading to a machine with a better CPU, I would suggesting selling the Pixel 2013 and putting the money towards a used MacBook Pro Unibody with an i7. This way you can also upgrade the Mac’s hard drive to an SSD or even a dual-SSD set-up. The best part about the MacBook Pro Unibody Models: even ones that are in really bad shape can be purchased for cheap, and then flipped into really nice laptops using replacement parts here on iFixit.

I actually bought a MacBook Pro (2011) running an i7 for $400, then installed two 120GB SSD’s by using the dual-drive part (Unibody Laptop Dual Drive) and then installed Windows 10 on the second drive. Now, I have a really solid MacBook Pro running an i7, with an SSD, PLUS, another SSD running Windows 10 for troubleshooting Windows machines for clients. I would strongly consider that route.

Yeah your right,I can use BGA to replacement that ,I get anything tool to change the CPU but the problem is cost too much,the pixel2013 another problem is the SSD is too small only 32G left ,I was check on google it’s has 128G ISSD possible to replacement it , just where I can buy it I don’t know ,I search on internet seem like I have to connect with Sandisk than I can get the 128G chips even that, the max speed only still have 160MB/S ,it’s too old, and cost too much on the book, I also think it’s not worth to let me buy these chips and upload it for that, even I upload that it’s still can’t compare the the pixel 2015.

Thank you for help

Agreed! It's unfortunate that you cannot remove the CPU or the SSD. Even if you could remove the SSD, it might not be worth the money to upgrade it.

Glad I could help!
