If your just wanting to learn mining look at compacs from sidehack, also RPI to run it vs a laptop is smarter on saving electricity. I would look twords this is your just wanting to learn mining.
It will not ROI though it's more for fun. If your looking at ROI it's a another story and we need to know a lot about your electricity.
