24/7 is impossible for a Laptop ..

Not at all, the only times I shut down my laptop (or more likely put it to sleep) is when I have to travel or reboot for some reason, otherwise always on. No ill-effects of any sort.

But otherwise you're correct, mining on laptop is absolute waste of time and OP is better off just using their laptop to do some actual work and then just buy the crypto with that money. That's what I do as well.

You can find some altcoin that can compensate for mining.

But if you're talking about Ethereum, Zcash. You better forget it.

No, my friend.Just like a match, you riding on a bike , other miners drive a lambo. How can you get your profit by competing with them .

Too risky bro.
24/7 is impossible for a Laptop ..
I think Dell is a good laptop for it .  but still too risky.
No Laptop is good for mining
if something is broken on the laptop.
it is hard to replace.
while in desktop/PC . you can customize it easily.

You can make only loss by mining on laptop, firstly you can mine some coins but you can't make money and you damage your computer.

Maybe mining easy coins like BCN, while you are anyway working on your laptop could be a thing, where not much hash is needed?
I tried with my old smartphone on minergate. Never got BCN shares confirmed Smiley Maybe it would work on laptop without crashing it but don't know.

its possible to mining on any laptop and get a profit? what coin to be mined with laptop (cpu/gpu) ?

please help me!!

You can mining from any laptop or even using smartphone, but it's not worth to try. Mining on this device only will harm your laptop or smartphone even you mine using GPU(laptop), your laptop will heat and not fast enough to solve algorithm. The best option is mining from computer, and then buy ASIC miner or GPU miner

I've tried it before... It didn't end well for me. Don't do it... rather get a GPU or two and build a little rig.

Don't do that, you'll never get profit mining with laptop. Mining needs pc with high spec and also electricity. The second thing about the cost, try to calculate first before decides to mine. The last one, I have been mining with laptop and the result not enough, even to pay the electricity bill. That's your laptop and your call, I only suggest calculate before doing, hope you understand. Good luck.

it is possible to mine altcoins with your laptop.
it may be profitable if your laptop is strong and you have a cheap electricity. and if you are mining a coin with a high price.

BUT as others said it is not wise to do it. one of the problems with mining is the heat. your GPU or CPU (different for different minings) will be working overtime and for long hours and that produces a lot of heat and not only that, but also it will reduce the life of your hardware.
this is why they say it is not a good idea.

No it's going to make your laptop broken and the result you got won't be enough to cover the electricity, I ever try once to mine the results is so little and my laptop almost overheated, you need cpu to mine, laptop can't handle the mining activity

You'll not make any profit mining on a laptop and would rather damage your laptop by melting it.

No, your laptop is not powerful enough and moreover the extreme heat that it will generate will make it die slowly. Forget about this idea if you want to still have a laptop.

Yes it's possible but it is not going to be profitable instead you will just going to destroy your laptop. You should have time to learn more about mining. Mining isn't that something that you can mine from everywhere. The condition is to have better specs and more powerful video cards, GPU, CPU depending on what you will mine.
