Lenovo z580 cpu swap i5 for an i7?

[lenovoz580]

Was just curious, same laptop sold with different cpu's. Wanted to know if I got a hand on one of the Core i7 3520M, would it fit my laptop that currently holds an i5 3210M ?

What do you do with the laptop? Also, do you already have the i5 and are looking to upgrade or are you choosing between the two?

I already have the laptop with an i5 and was curious if I can upgrade it to an i7. Just want to know what possibilities I have left to upgrade other than an ssd.
