The HP Omen 16L uses an HP proprietary motherboard (HP doesn't publish the exact model name, but it's an Intel LGA 1851 socket board designed for Arrow Lake processors). The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is not integrated — it's a socketed CPU, so technically it could be swapped for another compatible Arrow Lake processor like the Core Ultra 5 225F or Core Ultra 9 285K. However, upgrading the motherboard itself is tricky. HP uses custom form factors, front panel connectors, and power configurations that may not be standard ATX. If you replace the motherboard with an aftermarket one, you'd likely also need a new case and possibly a new power supply to make everything fit and work properly. So in short: CPU upgrades within the Arrow Lake family are possible, but a full motherboard swap would essentially mean rebuilding the PC.
