You would end up losing money, even with a gpu.  Your better of buying a bitcoin miner and even then its not the best idea if electricity costs alot.  I wanted to buy a bitcoin miner but ended up forcing myself not to because it was to much of a risk and I might never see a return/break even.  

He is going to be pluging in miners to the laptop not mining with the laptop. And to Op as long as your internet connection is good enough the your laptop should be good enough to plug the miners into until you get your desktop. I would not really recommend dumping money in to mining hardware but if you want to do it for fun then all the power to you!


You are very right man, i'm gonna be plugging in miners to my laptop, not mining with my laptop haha , and i have super fast internet, very stable, 24/7 internet and all that, but yeah you're correct man Smiley

There is no reason why you can't run your miners with a laptop, but before you spend money expecting a profit, make sure that you do the math. Don't forget the cost of power and cooling, and that difficulty will continue to rise.

Most miners don't need a computer at this point.  If they do they normally work with raspberry pi or tplink options.  

Over time you will be much happier with one of the low cost PI's or TPlinks's.   Eventually the Raspberry PI 2 will run a version of windows for free, at that point there will be no reason to use a laptop or desktop.

I have a dell laptop and it has 8 Gb of ram and 1.80ghz processor DDR3 good graphics card and all that , I was wondering if it is possible to run a Mining rig on it , im getting some bitcoin miners from amazon soon so inform me as best as you can, thanks Smiley

Since the difficulty of obtaining Bitcoin increases as more people try to mine it, it's now at the point that mining on your own computer is entirely useless. Large corporations are now mining, so it's better to just buy them directly if you're trying to get some Bitcoin.

Here's an example chart from 2010 to 2012.

If you want to mine bitcoin, I think you should think carefully before you start. Not easy to earn, even you will be lost

That's just my own thoughts

Wish you success !

It is hard to get a laptop to "explode".  If you push GPU to hard I could see blowing it and a puff of smoke going in air (sadly i know this from when I had GPU rigs running what seems ages ago).   

It will effect the laptops life if done alot, and the life will be shorter.   And you might find parts that don't last long with a laptop mining.
