It has an AMD A6 chipset and gets something like 6ghz PSU.  I'm unsure as to what the GPU is comparable to, but I'm wondering if it would suffice as a part time miner.  Any ideas?

Hate to break it to you, but CPU mining's last days were in late 2010, though had an after-death heartbeat in mid-2011.

We currently are in GPU mining's last days, though the party is in full swin until 210,000 when revenues get cut in half.  It is unlikely anyone paying for electricity will be profitably mining on GPU after block 210,000.  That is in about seven weeks.

There will be some who can switch over to an alternative currency, but no current altchains have an  exchange rate that would support much more added capacity without causing the same problem -- deluge of hashing capacity causing everyone to mine either for free or at a loss.

6ghz PSU!  Wowza!!

Anyway, no.  Mining on a laptop will get you pennies a month and decrease the longevity of it.  A bad idea all around.

Lol I have no idea what a 6GHz PSU even means, but those A6 chips might get like 100MH/s on the built in GPU/APU.

Tips? 1crazy8pMqgwJ7tX7ZPZmyPwFbc6xZKM9
