Once ASICs start coming out, I think it will feel like a big waste of money Why do you need to take your mining rig with you? As long as you have a closet somewhere, just park it and let it do it's thing. They usually don't require constant monitoring...

I am a MFC model so I will leave 2 computers at home running and then this one is what I take when I travel anyways. I also think BFL is a scam....

Dedicated GPU in a desktop mining makes sense.
Mining on a laptop to earn $10 at the expense of a $500-$2k laptop does not.

It does in my case... Not buying it just for mining. Mining is just a hobby.

GTX680 110.00 1110 1536 RPCMiner with OpenCL or others. Might crash once mining stops. No Flags and Stock Settings (GPU Boost @ 1110mhz Core) with EVGA GTX 680, latest version of GUIMiner (2012-2-19) and Windows 7 x64.
That computer has two of those with how I read it so thats like 3000.... not bad for being plugged into a airport.

Yes, but I don't think anyone would recommend mining on laptop graphics chips. Your laptop will run hot and I think you risk burning out your chips.

You should also realize your laptop will be a tiny bit less responsive with intensity even at 1 Are you really on mfc?

If you are serious, you need to find the best mobile Radeon they make and find a laptop with it
