I would not advise overclocking a laptop. overclocking requires good cooling, and laptops arent known for being low temperature (feel the bottom of it after its been on for 30 minutes.

DON'T OVERCLOCK A LAPTOP... unless your experience is good. Heat syncs and coolants will need to be improved so it doesn't overheat and fry the processor.
Take note... within a minute or so the processor can reach heat of over 100Celsius, the manufactures try to make the clock as fast as safely possible.

Usually I say avoid over clocking laptops just because they aren't as efficant at cooling as desktops are. And you cant really add any type of watercooling or put a bigger heatsink on. And laptops aren't known to run cool in the first place. If you are than be very careful. Usually the burnout tempature of chips is 55C- 60+C.

I would not advise overclocking a laptop as it will run to hot but if you are happy to burn it out go ahead

It's best not to overclock anything unless you know what you are doing...

I concur with the previous answers. Don't do it unless you want to buy a new laptop.
