Like the title says, I wanna know if it's possible on the following modern laptop - here is a link:

The same webpage also sells cooling (not trying to advertise a webstore - I'm sying I can get the needed cooling gadget at the same place - no need
for any other links)

thanks for the help/feedback

Yes you can mine on a laptop but not for 24hours run because if heat they generates, can't be compared with desktops and Gpus, my advice is to get desktop motherboard and cheap CPU and GPU to mine, your laptop will then live a long life

I'm afraid that would not be worth it.

There are several altcoins which you could mine right now even with your phone. But if we are talking about the mining which is closer to Bitcoin's required hashing power because of the increasing competition, I don't think a laptop is enough. You are just having your laptop commit suicide.

I have heard of Pi actually. They also have their own mining and nodes and all. Your laptop could handle that one and similar altcoins.

If you're talking about Bitcoin mining, It won't be economically viable for you. But you can mine some altcoin which were designed to be mined on spare parts. I would suggest you to mine aragon2d or grin. It will be economical for you.

The strong processors also use to generate a lot of heat. Laptops are usually designed to allow a bit of cool down now and then - by stopping them now and then and/or by not leaving them hours after hours on 100% processor use. With GPU it's even worse.

Since mining is usually high CPU/GPU use and 24/7 run, you may end up by breaking the laptop early if you are lucky or burn down the house if you're not.

So if you want that badly to mine, I'd advice you do that only while you use the laptop for something else (like surfing the net or this forum) and use mining software that doesn't use the whole processing power (like the Stak miner for Monero). But you'll see that such mining will get you pennies over long periods of time and may not worth it.

There are some cryptonight algorithm and mimblewemble coins like MWC and Grin as well some Aragon2d coins like NIM that may be worth mining with you spare power. Yet, I would no consider it a good use of laptop considering it's price and risk you are putting at it. If you want to try some mining, assemble a simple desktop with a couple of GPU.

short answer would be that you could mine something, but there is a question would that be economically viable for you, so you have to choose what to mine, and than ask question on relevant topic

You can mine with your laptop but do you think a laptop like that is ideal for mining? That's why if your main agenda is to mine then you have to get the right equipment because if you don't, you're just throwing your money. Laptops do have a low life-span so if you will start using it to mine, it will get into its full potential that can lessen it's lifespan.

If your inquiry is about to mine altcoin you should move your thread on this section Altcoin Mining perhaps you can read something related on your question there.

But if its about bitcoin then obviously should be here: Mining

But both of these section difference is of the other is not about BTC but concept about mining is all there.

_{For me its not advisable, laptop designed is extremely not appropriate for mining as it causes your laptop damage easily due to the energy consumption which your laptop couldnt take.}

You can't even you are using the modern laptop and that will be only burning your laptop.Your effort will be worthless and it's better to talk it or move this thread to the altcoin mining section.
it's better to buy a 2 hand GPU rather than try to use your laptop to mine altcoin/
