    Unfortunately, not all mobile processors are the same socket. For example, the Intel you're looking at (the i3 4030U) has a CPU socket FCBGA1168. I don't know which MSI Whitebook you're referring to (a link would be nice), but I don't see any MSI Whitebooks with the FCBGA1168 socket.

    All MSI Whitebooks and their appropriate sockets are in the 'source'.

    Intel Corporation has a habit of changing socket formats every two generations of MPU's or so even in the mobile market. Size formats for Mobile Core Processors include FCBGA 1288 (1st-Gen Mobile Cores), FCBGA 1023 (2nd- and 3rd-Gen Mobile Cores), FCBGA 1168 (4th- and 5th-Gen Mobile Cores), FCBGA 1364 (4th-Gen Core mini-magnums), and FCBGA 1234 (Core Processors™ M-5Y00 Series, an advance 5th-Gen release).
