Don't do it, because a working laptop is much more valuable than whatever you would be able to mine with it.
Seriously, don't do it. It will overheat, throttle, and destroy the lifespan of your device. Sell it and buy coins if you are that motivated.

mine an altcoin with low difficulty that you believe might become more valuable. don't overheat your laptop though.

x2 Its just not feasible with a labtop. Altcoins may be a better option, then you can hang on to them or exchange them for btc.

It depends on the processor you have. Whatever it be, you cannot solo mine. With pools, you can make a little.

Dont mine with laptop, 1: You will never get profit mining from laptop 2: your laptop overheats and finally no longer works suggestion is to get GPU or not to try mining. Good Luck

Of course it works, it is a computer and it computes things till it's broke. Or if you mean works as in makes money? No, it will not make any money. You will simply destroy the thing. Unless your sister is a computer gamer her computer is likely totally worthless for mining as well. Even then (if she is a gamer) you've got a 50/50 shot of her computer STILL being mostly worthless. You have no idea how to mine and are already asking for a loan specifically to mine? Are you insane?

Oh, I see. This thread is all about getting someone to loan you some money.

I think it can be done although it is a bit risky.
Just program energy saving options wisely so that screen turns off when mining and also hdd stops spinning. Use an external cooler or at least put the lappy on a stand so that there is an empty space below it. On some notebooks is easy to take off the optical unit (you usually just have to take off a single screw),so you can save more power. Take the battery out so that it is not using power to recharge it. Do not use external USB mouse and/or keyboard, they also drain some power. Make sure that the air input/output ports are very clean and not obstructed.
As for energy, an ideal setup will be using a solar panel to charge a 12V battery and then one of this generic adapters for using laptops in cars. That way energy is almost free.....

Anything is doable, but I wouldn't use a pappy I cared about.

I can get about 120kh from my laptop doing scrypt, but i recon that would last for about an hour before it burns down and melts to the centre of the earth.
Dont even try it, not worth blowing a laptop.

Take the battery out so that it is not using power to recharge it. I wouldn't do this as the battery can protect the laptop motherboard from power spikes. Keep the battery in.

Laptop mining is not efficient at all, better buy some cheap rig, you don't need all computer components, just motherboard, gpus, 2GB ram and a HDD

My Intel T3100 CPU notebook does about 6 KH/s. Tried it for 48hs nonstop and nothing wrong happened so far. It did heat a lot, but we are currently here in the middle of a heatwave with 38C temperatures so it is not strange at all.
