Best laptop for Minergate CPU mining

[Two4D2]

Hello =) I have a chance to put my laptop somewhere with free electricity and would like to use that for CPU mining Cant really do GPU mining as I can only fit laptop there...so what would be the best laptop for CPU mining you guys think?

If you're gonna CPU mine, why not use a normal miner instead of minergate?

Its much easier for me to setup and it auto mines best coin

It will mine XMR, so use XMR-STAK-CPU it's better.
You need some newer CPU, with AES support, big L3 cache, i5 or i7, best would be from two latest series.

Ok great Thats good answer. Do you have any recommended laptops maybe? Looking at around $1k +/- $200

I don't think many people will have a dedicated laptop for mining so the best bet would be to work it out for yourself

http://monerobechmarks.byethost5.com/?i=3 - scroll down until you hit CPU benchmarks. Cross compare CPUs listed here to laptops around the price you're after and then check the hash-rate on a calculator to see if it'll be worthwhile.

Minergate sucks, don't use this miner.

No, I dont. Find one with Kaby Lake or Skylake i7, the best you can have. 2 fans for better cooling.

 i cannot imagine what kind of damage the mining would do to a laptop.
i think its just a pity to deliberately burn up a working laptop!

you are probably losing money by mining with a third party  software, better to use a cpu miner and mine soemthign else than monero, which is not the best coin for cpu mining, check verium or zoin, they are better
