not sure that you will be able to upgrade the CPU. mobile CPUs are usually not removable from the motherboard without excessive difficulty.

That's really not been the case in a long time since the mobile P3 MPGA2 days. The major factor is whether your bios can support the faster speeds -- only a small handful can. Dells are usually the most successful in this regard.
