I'm estimating with that laptop you'll probably get MAX 200 h/s mining XMR... at today's price that's about $0.39/day, and only if you're mining the full 24 hours. If you speed 8hrs at work that's $0.13 per day.

ROI would be: 15358.69 days, which is 42.07860274 years. This is assuming you go to work 365 days a year. LOL

Better solution: Buy a cheap laptop and build and ACTUAL RIG!!

With today's prices, RIO is only 4-6 months.

If i do an actual rig though I get stuck paying electricity d: .20 per kw was mainly the reason I was looking to multi task it in this fashion.

Also should be able to swing a 540 hashrate with the 1070 just using minergate ~

There is a recent version of CCMINER which will do 650-700h/s in cryptonight on a 1070.

But I thought you were referring to a laptop with a 1060 in it, not a 1070?

Between the two choices - the $1500 version has a 1060 (est 250-350 hash) the 1800 has a 1070 (est 540-650 hash)
I waa thinking its ineffective paying 300 for that upgrade but ~ almost doubling the hashrate makes me indecisive.

you'd be better off spending that 1.5k on 3-4 470s and settling with equihash for worthwhile returns instead of cryptonote - https://whattomine.com/coins/167-zcl-equihash?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=1080.0&p=600.0&fee=2.0&cost=0.2&hcost=1500&commit=Calculate, http://mycryptobuddy.com/MiningHardware

Can't take that to work with me though -> therefore the .20c electricity cost would kill me.

you could kit out a portable case and setup where ever your laptop was going to be if you're just buying a few?
if its out in the open, with others trying to work i get why it wouldn't be suitable, but if its a matter of there's a spare room and you can place it there, i don't see why it'd be an issue.
plus $7 daily returns for a coffee/monero or two, that is after withdrawal and tx fees.

as for home use, yes, you'll end up in the negative forking out electricity expenses :/
only other thought is to save up for a larger rig and find a decent colo provider in a state where kWh are below 10 cents

Yeah itd be out in the open, also I wouldn't trust leaving it out of sight with my coworkers. Its becoming a tricky thing given the circumstances lol
