If you are going to use a laptop, do so smartly. Make sure it is sitting on a cool surface (not a blanket, your lap, etc.) and make sure it has some ventilation (even if you prop it off the ground a bit to allow cool air to come in from underneath.
As others have said, it may damage the laptop but I know from experience, business grade laptops fear far better than cheap plastic consumer ones which overheat as soon as they start doing anything intensive. I had a Dell E4320 running 100% CPU in an office for about 12 months without issue during a test.

I'm not sure if there's a smart way to mining on a laptop. The performance simply isn't there even if you are able to do it in a way that does minimal harm to the laptop over time.
