Is it possible to swap processors in laptops?

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.
