Gridseed Blades are cheap today, I think it's ok to begin, even if you want to mine for fun. Don't expect ROI
I would suggest waiting till next generation currently. A lot of people are still running gear they make very little or possibly even lose on. A2's have been king to long. No one is throwing huge R+D into Scrypt.
Personally I highly suggest waiting.
Please stop, mining using GPU only wasting your power & shorten your laptop lifetime. Nvidia is not good at mining though.
With today's difficulty, even small asic will hard to ROI.

It truly is sad this has been said hundreds of times, yet so many are convinced they have a laptop that beats the odds. To have Nvidia or ATI card means there is a good chance it was not some crappy laptop, and paid a decent amount for it when it was new.
If they want to start slow they could get a raspberry pi and some old usb miners. Chances are 2 asic miner usb's would beat most laptop GPU's on mining BTC.
He will never make ROI with cheap ASIC machines, it's not 2012 anymore.
I would not say never it depends on his electricity price. Sure the 3 month ROI is gone most likely forever, but some with low electricity will still ROI granted it takes much longer.
Just study mining section on this forum. However, mining with a laptop is absolutely not recommended.
With Nvidia look up Cuda mining specifically.
Again doing it with a laptop is a bad idea over time.
