So... you have a laptop with no CPU?

You are right... bad idea. Even if it fits physically, the thermal considerations are what make it a bad idea. Mobile chips generally require less power and run cooler. The heatsink in there probably can't handle a desktop P4.

don't waste you time or your lap . thats the biggest problem HEAT !
the temperature off the retail (desktop) CPU may very well burn you .and some of the other parts in the rig !
