overclockable laptops?

hey there, i'm looking for a core 2 duo based laptop and was wondering if anyone knows of any models or manufacturer that offer enough basic overclocking options via the bios to make good use of an entry level C2D, i don't really know where to start on this.

Thanks!

no point to what, overclocking a laptop?

overclocking your lappy will overload its rather pitiful cooling mechanisms, not to mention reducing your battery life

yeah chances are it will kill your lappy and your batteries will run out in half the time, thats why all laptops use cool and quiet technology or speedstep technology

it might even kill yer battery.... li-ion can often only be discharged 2C

fair enough, its shame thet don't come multi unlocked i suppose, then you would just flick up the cpu speed without a voltage increase and all would be fine, i guess the worry will be raising it via the FSB, too much heat added all round.
