Topic: xps 15 as minor (Read 134 times)
If you want to seriously start mining, consider selling the laptop, buying rig components now and waiting for a good deal to come on a GPU. User above me mentioned pretty much everything about heat and how it's damaging, you could try mining with less threads/cores than your laptop actually has to try minimizing thermal stress, but in the end laptop components are fragile and you shouldn't be putting them to the task of mining.
Monero XMR that is all - XMR STK, but don't do that to you laptop. Search "Laptop tear down" or "cleaning" video and see just how badly you could damage it ramping up the thermals. The closed and small casing of laptops aren't meant for mining. Not many people will reply to this because if you have a rig you know deep down that you're only wasting the potential use of a laptop by using it for mining. I'd suggest selling the laptop or just keep it in case you need it in the future!
DYOR though and let us know what you find and what you decide.
