You would end up losing money, even with a gpu. Your better of buying a bitcoin miner and even then its not the best idea if electricity costs alot. I wanted to buy a bitcoin miner but ended up forcing myself not to because it was to much of a risk and I might never see a return/break even.

He is going to be pluging in miners to the laptop not mining with the laptop. And to Op as long as your internet connection is good enough the your laptop should be good enough to plug the miners into until you get your desktop. I would not really recommend dumping money in to mining hardware but if you want to do it for fun then all the power to you!

You are very right man, i'm gonna be plugging in miners to my laptop, not mining with my laptop haha , and i have super fast internet, very stable, 24/7 internet and all that, but yeah you're correct man

There is no reason why you can't run your miners with a laptop, but before you spend money expecting a profit, make sure that you do the math. Don't forget the cost of power and cooling, and that difficulty will continue to rise.

Most miners don't need a computer at this point. If they do they normally work with raspberry pi or tplink options.

Over time you will be much happier with one of the low cost PI's or TPlinks's. Eventually the Raspberry PI 2 will run a version of windows for free, at that point there will be no reason to use a laptop or desktop.
