Completely a newby and hardly know anything about mining but i just want to know the risks and all. I'm not sure what you need to mine at a decent speed so i'll just post my laptop's specs.
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.4GHz Memory: 8192MB RAM Available OS Memory: 8088MB RAM Page File: 3705MB used, 12470MB available DirectX Version: DirectX 11 Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 Manufacturer: Intel Corporation Chip type: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family DAC type: Internal Display Memory: 4095 MB Dedicated Memory: 3019 MB Shared Memory: 1076 MB with second graphic card, Geforce GTX 670M.

in short: no.
You can use your cpu and maybe your graphics card (im not sure if it supports open cl or cuda) but forget about it. You will have a much higher higher electricity rate then profit from bitcoinmining.

As a hobby yes, for profit and earn money no. But be careful if you want to use your graphics card cause I've got a friend that burned the card out and now need to replace it......

Even alt coin mining with your 8 core CPU is not worth the reduced life of your notebook, but you may try it just for fun (not for profit)

I have a lot of free time at work, so I grind out the faucets. That's the best place for n00bz like us to start. It's time consuming, but if you only have time to kill, I say why not?

Laptops should never be used for mining as it may totally ruin them,mining would not cover the cost of damages done to your laptop as the difficulty is too much now.

Yes, you can always mine for fun. Even if you do not get any satoshi.

Bitcoins or Litecoins - just for fun. But it can mine CPU-only coins (e.g. Quarkcoin or Securecoin) pretty well.

almost any device can mine, even your tablet. however, you're burning your hardware for little to no return.
not worth it
