Good specs but mining in cpu or gpu are no longer available to mine in bitcoin..
The only thing that i can suggest to your to mine right now is altcoin with your good specs of computer you can use your CPU to mine altcoin like ethereum..
Bitcoin right now are using asic like antminer s7 or s9.. that you can buy in antminer.. more powerful than your cpu..

Utter crap, and you could damage your laptop. Never mine with a laptop, its underpowered cpu mean low performance. Laptops are very bad for mining and you will just run it max heat 24/7 for dust.

Latest ethminers dropped support for CPU mining as well.

You'd need a GPU at least, and it would still be bad.

Buy one of those desktop GPU external adapters or forget about it. No labtop hardware is worth mining with.

you can earn 20cents per day with your cpu mining if you
1. learn howto use nicehash without nicehash miner
2. learn howto to compile and run cpuminer-opt
3. learn howto undervolt your cpu with Intel XTU

And then nevertheless it will be the risk that your laptop will die due overheating or big power usage 24/7
Is it worth to? You to decide ))

I think it will be useless to mine using your laptop, the coin you earn from mining wont cover your electricity cost and you will ruin your laptop sooner or later, just buy a proper gpu if you are serious in mining
