I think in systems that old the CPU is soldered into the motherboard.
If you want something better, post it on ebay or somewhere for $100 and start saving for something better. and if not you're looking at MAYBE being able to upgrade to 166mhz

Crack it open. If the cpu is socketed(not soldered) maybe you can put up to a p233 in it. Probably wont be much of a difference though.

I am almost certain that the cpu is soldered into the board, but I could be wrong. Crack it open.

Haha I don't think I'd be able to get $100 for this laptop. 
I'm probably going to stop here though. Don't think I should put anymore effort into it. As long as it runs fine and plays older games, it's good.
I'll put the money towards something awesome, such as the Mustang GT I'm trying to get my hands on.

although this guy has been selling these crappy machines for 20x market value since '03 - he's making a lot more of his auctions private lately to cover his tracks, but i've seen him sell p1's for well over 350.

LOL! Jeez if that guy can get that much for that IBM, I'm sure I can get a lot for that Toshiba. Hmm, would he get into any serious trouble for this? Well, at least I don't think he would. I could imagine the people who buy the laptops get angry, but I don't think ebay would do anything right?

he isn't doing anything wrong, it is the buyers responsibility to not get ripped off and over pay for obsolete hardware. some of his feedback actually does show some serious buyer's remorse, and I got a laugh out of that.
he is listing them as they are with a lot of glitter. (1 billion characters of data, wtf?)
