I would only do it if you can 1. a low difficulty coin/pool since you don't have much hash power(realize you won't make much) 2. monitor temps 3. to learn/experience cryptocurrency.

good luck in whatever you decide.

You can solo mine altcoins with low difficulty, or join a pool. Also note that mining on laptop is bad as it can get very hot and burnout, try to monitor cpu/gpu temp

Look for new CPU altcoins but beware of the heat it may really damage your computer.

With that setup any altcoins worth mining will still earn you nothing and in all probability result in you damaging your computer. Old AMD cards from laptops are generally pretty bad in comparison to what the newer desktop cards can produce.

You can mine, but the hashrate would be very low and IMHO you shouldn't try it.

Help everyone, I'm just new to these currency and don't also have any experience in mining.
I did heard that mining BTC using a laptop is not good nowadays, so I was thinking to mine
some Alt coins instead, BTW here is the specification of my laptop:

Intel(R) Core (TM)
i3-2310M CPU @
2.10 GHZ 2.10GHZ

RAM 4.00 GB
64bit Operating System

AMD Radeon HD 6370M
1024MB

Help me please, what ALT coin is best for me to mine using my laptop only
and I don't have any Miner hardware. Also please teach me how to install it
step by step.. I really hope someone would help me.
