I want to upgrade for better performance.
SOURCE: is i3 or i5 compatible
That laptop uses AMD Athlon 64 single-core L110-series processor - so no, i3 or 5 will not work. And there are no possible upgrades, these processors have never been sold to customers, only to manufacturers.
SOURCE: can i upgrade my acer
No, the BIOS in the laptop is not designed to work with it and it will simply refuse to accept it.
In general it is possible to upgrade the processor of a laptop, the socket has to be the same. A faster processor may or may not produce more heat than your current one, the heat output is mainly distinguished by the watts the cpu uses.
It is though not very practical to change the CPU. Same socket means that you are bound to processors of the same era, you cannot get a state of the art architecture processor (like i3, i5, i7) with the same socket your P6200 has.
Next point is that it is not that easy to change the processor inside of a laptop, the parts are very tightly screwed into the casing making it hard to do anything in there. additionally you are likely to destroy something or unintentionally wont be able to fit all the pieces in place afterwards.
Looking at the list of pentium processors at wikipedia. It says the P6200 uses a Socket G1, as you can see in that list there are only four CPUs using this socket, and only one that would count as better as yours. So clearly: No, not worth it.
Actually there are some i7's out using the same socket and drawing only 35W, but I wont guarantee that it actually would work, and I doubt that the laptops hardware is made to support this CPU.
It is possible, but I would not recommend it.
