is this miner still profitable for eth mining or any alt that can be mine inside a laptop since btc mining is very difficult I just wondering if there's any alt that can be mine and still got a little profits.

in theory, a good gaming laptop (ie: gtx960/965/970M inside) could mine profitably, but they are only capable of a fraction the output of a desktop card and are not meant to be fully loaded as there is often mediocre cooling in a laptop. thus shortening part lifespan

its possible, but really not reccomended. 3-4 years ago i could mine LTC on my laptop but it was maybe $0.10/day.  (a year later my 10-20 saved coins had jumped in value though, but buy/hold would have been more effective)
