[Stano]

Please do not flame me and say "what a noob", "Such a jackass" or other stuff.

Thank's.

Hi,

Although you can use GUIMiner or bitcoin-miner.exe to mine, you will only get around 2-3Mhash/s so it would take years to generate a block.
If you just want to mine for fun, it is possible but your laptop may overheat and the CPU may overload.

Can you mine? Absolutely, but, mining on laptops isn't generally a good idea, because of the stresses associated with bitcoin generation. You can mine whenever you like, but it's only really worth mining if you have a decent GPU.

My recommendation to you is to try out mining, use some different miners, get a good understanding of how things work. I caution you though, do not mine for extended periods of time on a laptop. You should also consider joining a mining pool, as it's unlikely you'll generate any bitcoins on your own.

According to bitcoin wiki, you get a whooping 1.19 Mhash/s from Atom N270
