How easy isit to upgrade the CPU in a lappy (M1330)

Yesterday I bought a Dell XPS M1330 off the MM which on further investigation seems rather underpowered, but no matter, Ive always wanted a M1330. I was thinking of putting in a beefier processor, it currently has a Core 2 Duo Mobile T5250 1.5GHz, 667 FSB.

I was thinking of something like a Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile CPU T7500, 800FSB

How straightforward is upgrading the cpu in an XPS laptop?

Fantastic, thanks for the replies. I've built several desktops now so confidence aint an issue, can't afford to balls this one up though so will be taking my time.

Without wishing to state the obvious, make sure you back everything up, just in case. I once swapped out the GPU on a 17" Dell. Difficult but manageable.
