Another thing you can do even though your on a laptop is use Luxe's Miner. Its GPU supported and works with integrated graphics. I more then tripled my read speeds by using it. On my desktop it reads over 100MB per second while on my laptop it reads over 60MB a sec. Compared to the CPU at 20/sec.
Yes I had considered that, my Laptop has NVIDIA Quadro 1000M Graphics, however the problem was that I could not work out from the available instructions how to get it running...
