"Without damaging it" is the key point. A laptop is a computer with a CPU and sometimes a GPU that can mine just like
a desktop CPU or GPU, but they aren't designed to run hard and have inferiour cooling due to the cramped space inside.
At the very least you will shorten its life.
In practical terms a "very basic" laptop is probably useless. It likely doesn't have an upgraded GPU or a competent CPU
for mining. Although you can mine with a 2 core Pentium they don't have some of the advanced features that take advantage
of optimized miners, so CPU mining performance is poor. You really need a core i with the latest tech and more threads to
mine with any kind of efficiency using a CPU.
