Mining with a laptop is doable but due to small form factor and cooling
its not good for the long term life unless you run at super low itensity

you temps should never be above 60 to 70 degrees.

enter the gaming box

https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16814125990?_ga=2.176080554.982669761.1515295711-1094044687.1473467146&_gac=1.87904362.1514348364.Cj0KCQiAg4jSBRCsARIsAB9ooaur-084lfhW8FRzgbXQnm_gFiSeNE9rs8ZRpl7T5cCRhtWFyRHcO5oaAkwQEALw_wcB

I know there are others that let you buy just the enclosure and the card you get separately but this on I tested
and it works grate.

you might say $600 is too pricy but currently all gtx1070 cards are going for around 500 to 550 anyways and with
this one you get a 450 watt gold psu, 4 usbs , and a system that charges your laptop through the thunderbolt connection so you save a power cord too.  Also get a nice spiffy case and led lights the thing is
tiny.

Im my breif tests it connects and installs as if u plugged in a pcie card,no drivers software needed on win 10 creators

I have a 1060 6gb in my laptop so now in Afterburner i see both.

currently using both on eth and lbr to test and i run the 1060 at ethi 2 so i get 15mhs eth 15lbr 65 degrees stock mem

the gaming box gets 30mhs eth 37 lbry at 600 mem and 85 powerlmit

i tried lower powelimits like my desktop cards but i think its a thunderbolt thing

illconnect them both to a wattmeter later.

So there you have it , easy gpu mining on any laptop with windows and thunderbolt
withoute killing you laptop.

like i said all prices on cards are high at the moment so its not a bad idea to pick one
of these up.  High quality 1070 8gb, great cooling , temps stay at 75 in my hot bedroom
and its quiter than the laptop itself

I would like to know if mining in iPad Air 1 is doable? I like to try it due to security features of apple products compare to conventional laptop.

The only problem here is mainly electricity supply, there are company trying to make this affordable for miners, you can check out envion ico.

This is hardly an innovative or otherwise new "solution". Additionally, this still offers little room for scalability, regardless of what you think about the price difference between this and a "bare bones" 1070.

lol where did i say its inovative ? its an easy aolution for people who only have a laptop

you obviously did not read any of the post, a normal 1070 is $500 atm
the box gpu is $599 , plus you get a 450 watt psu and other features

who is talking about scaling etc , its just another way to get in the mining game
