    1) Use 99+% isopropanol (isopropylic alcohol) when wiping any internal components. It dries faster, easily dissolves fingerprints, contact adhesives and thermal paste, doesn't short out components, doesn't affect the plastics and it's easy to get in most countries.
    2) before doing this upgrade at home make sure that the laptop can handle the power draw of the new component, especially the CPU
    3) make sure that the heatsink can handle a more powerful CPU. Most laptop cooling systems are designed with just 1 CPU in mind: the original one
    4) the external GPU can be a pain on some laptops if you don't have an express slot and try to go through the wifi card slot. I know from experience

    I have a HP DV5 Laptop, and I Upgrade the CPU too, i3 350M to i5 560m, My hint is to cover the heatpipes with eletric tape, those black ones, made of ruber... It helps because it prevents the heatpipe to heat the air inside the laptop, You don't have any "heat leak" close to the motherboard... With the i3 it was about 55º celcius idle... now with the tape and more powerful CPU, idle is about 38ºC

    You get way better performance when using the external monitor
    When using the internet monitor the computer has to send the signal to the gpu through a 1x connection and then back to the laptop causing a significant drop in performance
    When outputting straight from the gpu you get significantly better performance
    As convenient as it is to use the internal screen and as nice as it is to have a performance increase at all you are leave a lot of performance on the table..there is how good it's running and then there is how good it could be running

      Processor depends very much with the motherboard. If you're motherboard supports it, then you can.

    I recommend getting a Lenovo T440p, very powerful 37w 4rth gen i5 by default, GPU option of GT 730m, and they are extremely cheap, I got mine for 60$, Upgraded to a quad core I7 8thread for 50$, 16gb of ram for 40$, 500gb SSD for 50$, and I Upgraded the screen to 1080p for 40$, and replaced track pad with better version for 10$
    250$ for an amazing powerful 14" laptop, with amazing ThinkPad quality, amazing keyboard and fingerprint reader, solid, and extremely reliable.

    my laptop is
    -Thosiba Portege R830 (for working)
    -and same as the video HP compaq 6530b (screen bone destroyed, keyboard "Y button missing", adapter blowup)
    but a few component stil work like dim RAM, Processor (never look where is the potition, then u show the video make me know the potition of Processor), HDD, Motherboard, Screen)
    i decide canibal my HP being PC i made a project to some case put all component to one case and turn it on being PC like in Video but using a Monitor screen i know when u pull that screen off u cant see the reboot but i already solve that, and make a standart booting screen is monitor...

    With that gpu frame and that laptop, if it's possible, you can make a desktop pc out of it with a monitor attached to it. It's possible to build if you know how to weld and put in some extra imagination to it. Plus it'll cost a little extra, but it's something to expand on if interested about it.

      Or if old probooks are anything like old elitebooks, get a mobo with dedicated graphics for ~$15 and a quad core 720qm for less than $20 on ebay. I put a 820qm ($26) in a 8440w with a similarly sized heatsink, runs warm but good thermal paste and removal of dust filters goes a long way. Actually runs cooler than my 640m 8440p. Could still do the egpu but have the extra muscle of a quad core
