I know that laptop and desktop is dead for BTC and LTC for the most part but my laptop is taking a dump on me and it's time to buy another one. I'm probably going to spend somewhere around 1500-1800 on a new system and figure I can leave it running while I'm at work daily to mine. I was thinking on something with a 1070 card should be a good start(says roughly 768 hash rate on monero benchmarks ). Most likely I would have to join a pool I know but also looking into how feasible a system in this range could be to mine other altcoins such a Zcash or others that are not as popular to try to get in early. Any advice on a system? My only requirement is it does have to be portable as I go on trips and use it for work in the evenings and under 2100 total.

Any advice is much appreciated.

You can try NiceHash or Winminer
