“Processor socket The Intel Celeron 1037U CPU that this computer comes with is a FCBGA1023 socket, so it should be able to upgrade to an appropriate i5. Is this possible? Is the Celeron soldered into the socket or will I be able to remove it?”

I got the laptop and checked. The Celeron is soldered in and there is no socket. I just happened to have a spare i5 lying around and unfortunately will not be able to upgrade. It is fine though, as the Celeron is pretty good for a dual core processor. As a side note, the RAM and HDD were very easy to upgrade.

Toshiba does not consider the processors to be upgradable in our laptops. CPUs are not designed to be removed from our motherboards.

Not sure why you would want to do that. Leave the proc as-is. It is plenty fast enough. If are a gamer and want more proc speed, just pay more for an i3 or i5 laptop.
