I have already bought this laptop but I have been thinking about upgrading the CPU.
Here are the specifications at the moment:
Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 2.00Ghz
Up to 1791Mb Nvidia Geforce 9300m GS TurboCache (512Mb Nvidia Geforce 9300m GS)
3Gb DDR2 RAM
14.0 HD 8ms Acer CineCrystal LED LCD
320GB HDD
DVD Super Multi DL
Everything is fine, and for a little laptop it's more than perfect, there is only one problem. That the CPU for me isn't powerful enough, and I would prefer something along the lines of 2.53Ghz, dual is fine. Which on overclockers is £266, which is within my budget limits. (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-256-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1275)
I've looked at temperatures at the moment and after running Cs 1.6, and then Prime-stress test they go up to like 23 degrees and then thats it. I've just had a marathon CS 1.6 match and now i'm watching bones and they're at 19 degrees (Max temperature potential indicated on CoreTemp 85 degrees)

So would I be able to swap out the T6400 and stick in the new processor?
