Laptop Mining

[His Holy Noodliness]

Careful, you'll overheat your laptop easily, like others have said no problem using an ASIC and just using the laptop to control it, but mining on the GPU is very unwise, I wouldn't even CPU mine with a laptop either - the cooling is marginal at best.

It is no worth to mine with laptop, you can one day wake up with burnt laptop, it is cheaper to buid altcoin mining rig.

My Intel T3100 CPU notebook does about 6 KH/s. 

Tried it for 48hs nonstop and nothing wrong happened so far.
It did heat a lot, but we are currently here in the middle of a heatwave with 38C temperatures so it is not strange at all.

Laptop mining is not recommended these days and can never profitable most especially if your mining Bitcoins and other popular altcoins. At 6KH/s it would be too difficult to find a single block and even if you join a pool you might not get any share.

I tried mining on my laptop and it heats a lot, as much as when I play games. So maybe the laptop could be ok if you dont mine many hours, but just one or two everyday

I don't recommend it either, I ran mine for 48 hours just to see how things worked last month and ended up damaging my fan. It's rattles now. Off to ebay for parts!

Mining with a 270x now without a case, much batter

For me - I used an old laptop to fiddle with and figure out how mining works...  hash is super low, not results, of course, but from a strictly educational perspective, it can be useful.  I no longer use this as I have some dedicated mining rigs now.  Just my 2 cents.
