There is an ASUS N56VB laptop ( https://goo.gl/6kzg6b ) and another ASUS N56JK ( https://goo.gl/TRxA2x ) (which I want to buy for these manipulations). The second one is better with a video card, but worse with a processor, is it possible to swap the processors in places? (I can’t find the same sockets or not, where can I find the info?). ASUS N56VB has a discrete + built-in, and ASUS N56JK has one discrete, is it worse or not?

No, you can't. The processors have different sockets FCPGA988 and FCBGA1364. In addition, i5 is soldered on the board.

yes, you can, the ASUS N56VB has the HM76 chipset and the ASUS N56JK HM86, the processor should fit
