It is not a good idea to mine with a laptop. I think it will only waste your electricity bill nothing else.
Not only that, his laptop will be overheated easily without good ventilation.

Not recommend. You might be able to generate a few cent's here and there but more than likely your spending more than that on the electricity to generate it. Also, the wear and tear on your laptop will likely burn it out 3-4 times faster than simple normal use will.
When you mine with the CPU or GPU of your laptop. But the cooling of most laptops isn´t powerful enough for that and he might overheat and gets damaged.
what you need is a raspberry pi and aload of hex's or cubes or usb miners..the world is your oyster my friend...
but if you dont wanna leave your lappie out in all this just use that instead of the pi, but the pi will be cheaper lekki wise me thinks

not bitcoins, man. you will get low hash/w and become bankrupt. you can try yourself with some altcoins, may be. which one? I'm exploring this now.
Alt coins are only profitable if you tweak the settings correctly and buy the right model card at a good price. Using a mobile GPU which is effectively 6x the price of a desktop GPU already nullifies any profit potential. It's like using a Ferrari to offer people to help move a bed or a couch.

Sadly i think you will be disappointed with alt coin gpu/cpu mining on a laptop. Not to mention the warnings everyone will give if the laptop is decent this is a good way to make its life shorter.

Even if you had some serious hash rate it will dmg your notebook in long term by overheating, etc.
I think you should mine on latop
you have to do a PC with hight power VGA

So that he can earn 45 cents just before he melts the board or the cheap $3 fan cooling the GPU? Have you ever tried to change a fan on a pain in the ass laptop like a HP DV4 series. You would rather poke your eyes out.

I mine altcoins on my laptop. It has a 6770m AMD graphics card so I can get decent hashrate out of it.
Basically if your laptop is a GAMING laptop with a good graphics chip, it should handle mining just fine,
but don't expect to make much from it, just a hobby to learn or if you get free electricity why not.

You can also eat soup with a fork, but most people don't.
Learn to use the best tool for the job. A laptop GPU is too expensive on a $/MH or $/KH basis to mine with - it doesn't warrant the risk. CPU mining might be worth it if the coin was worth it (like early days of PTS or XPM). If you're mining with your laptop's GPU you're trying to ride a tricycle on the Autobahn.

If you are mining with an external ASIC that is attached to your laptop via cable, then yes. If you mean running a cpu/gpu miner on the laptop, then:
Technically, you can, but it is completely pointless at the time being. To be able to compete in the mining market, you need to get ahold of a powerful ASIC to make any profit at all (if your electricity costs you money). And even if you don't pay the electricity bill, you would still only make fractions of cents a day, or week, for that matter.
So if you are planning to mine with your laptop, don't mine bitcoin. Mine bitcoin with ASICs. You may have a small chance at making a profit mining an altcoin (most certainly not a major one -- even those with dedicated GPUs are having a hard time making a profit with them), but I would not count on that.

Right now the value of all CPU only coins has dropped so low that even if you mine with a Haswell I7 you would barely make a dime in a month. I did mine with my laptop at the end of last year but only for a few weeks when some new coins launched.
A laptop would be fine for hosting ASICs though. My I7 uses only 20W when idle and it's nice to be able to log in easily with GUI.

Most likely would be better of with RaspberryPI or desktop if you are running 24x7 with devices connected to it. If you are talking about mining with a laptops cpu/gpu it will be very small in earnings.
indeed, if you plug some ASIC miner into it, then it's fine...
It depends how many TH/S of ASICs you plug into the laptop.
directly from your laptop... don't do it man.. hear what our friend posted before, it's true...
the cpu power really isnt worth it like the guys say and will just burn your lappie out..
You can always try a powered port with a few antminer, block erupters or something and use your laptop for cgminer
but a lappie is pointless on its own for mining
