In my experience, nearly every laptop i've seen has issues when running on full load. Cooling systems aren't designed for that. They're designed for regular use. The only kinds of laptops I've seen that don't overheat are the Lenovo T and W series laptops. My T400 goes to ~60c when scrypt-mining for several hours straight, however my old HP would go up to ~75.
So, my answer is: idkman, I am doubting it.
Topic: reduce laptop price by mining - page 2. (Read 5981 times)
Hi all,
My computer is 5 years old so it's time for a new one!
For my studies I'm planning to buy an 15.6'' laptop and my budget is 1000 euro max (+-1300 dollar)
I was thinking, I saw a cool laptop with nice keyboard RGB light and so on (click) for 1200 euro (+-1550 dollar)
This laptop has a HD 7970M 2GB GPU so:
650MHash/s
I pay 0,20 euro (0.25 dollars) for a kWh
300W (no idea if this is realistic)
Let's say I'll mine 20/24
When I used this calculator (click) , it said I'll have my money (+-250USD) back after +-6 months
Do you guys think this will work or are those calculators worthless over such time.
Is 300W realistic?
Can a laptop handle the heat with 24/24 mining?
Thanks for any help!
