What is the make and model of the laptop you are trying to upgrade? Even when the socket is the same there may not be support for different CPU's. We would want to verify that the motherboard will support it. Sometimes a BIOS update will be needed in order to support different CPUs than shipped. Even then the manufacturers may not have built in support for that CPU set.

As for pricing you can find 480m's for as low as $70 used with a 30 day money back on ebay.
