ive just recently started mining bitcoin im just running it off of an a4 laptop with a radeon hd 7420g gpu.ive researched a couple asic miners looked at an external box and a usb erupter i have 2 questions what would make mining efficient on my computer and im wondering if i have acces to 50 computers if i run miners on all of there cpus would that total up to anything close to running a single erupter on my laptop

Running more computers at a loss each does not make it magically profitable. Losing a dollar a day per computer means if you run 50 of them you're losing 50 dollars per day.

depends if you're paying the electricity for the 50 computers.
But even then, you probably won't even come close

You're using the wrong hardware to mine bitcoin.  Bitcoin is now relegated to those who have or will have efficient ASICs, not low capability erupters.
