I read that this processor is BGA. That would mean that it is soldered to the motherboard? Can an average laptop technician replace it?
This processor is very slow, it scores only 600 on the Passmark CPU Benchmark.

Unfortunately, no, BGA is a machine-soldered package, so you can't remove it. (Wikipedia) Besides, you can't generally purchase a CPU that would fit in that socket anyway (since, of course, who could install it?)
8Technically you can, all you need is
- Solder wick,
- solder paste,
- soldering oven (i used an electric oven)
- a solder stencil,
- hot air gun,
- soldering iron,
- and some skill
If your upgrading you may need to flash your bios to a version that can see/use the new chip. I can't guarantee that it will work, after all, I have only replaced an E300 with an E300. Look up ReBalling Cpu on youtube, its the same process.
