Overclocking A Laptop is A Bad Idea...
Heat - Laptops dont have the best heatsinks on them and most laptops only have 1 fan.
Bios - If you do deside you want to overclock you will have to search around your laptops bios for overclokcing options.
Overclock - You will need to research what other people have managed to get safely with as less heat output as possible.
I Noticed that this cpu's Clock speed is 1.5ghz And 2.4ghz with turbo , If you did you could leave turbo on its up to you and possible the max you will be able to get without over heating is around about 1.6ghz - 1.65ghz , And thats it .

If i were you i wouldn't overclock , but it is entierly up to you , If you do go ahead im not responsible for you breaking anything

Should be quite possible to set its P0 state equal to the default turbo speed, using the same or a few steps
lower volts than the default volts of the default P0 state.
Don't forget to underclock too ; eg. 400 MHz at ~0.625 V

For overclocking beyond the turbo-speeds , 3+ GHz is easy , likely with ~0.2 V lower than the default voltage of the turbo state -
if you don't mind 80+ C temps (when not using any form of additional cooling*).
80 C is likely the point when the fan starts running at full speed.

* whether that be a cooling pad, bottle caps in the corners to raise the laptop a little,
or cutting away most of plastic from beside the heatsink and under the fan -
or taking the laptop apart to replace the thermal pads with better thermal paste.
