No, after electricity costs and wear and tear on your hardware, you can't earn $10 a month mining altcoins on a laptop. If you're looking to invest in an altcoin that will see big gains in the future, you're better off buying a chunk of those coins off of an exchange. Otherwise, get yourself half-decent mining hardware, unless you don't mind mining at par or at a loss (which can be fun anyway).

Watch out for this guy, he's a betacoin shill. Check his post history -- every single one of his posts is some over-the-top advertisement for betacoin. That doesn't mean betacoin sucks, but it means he's a heavily biased voice.
