I would be very careful mining anything on a laptop. With that said, AEON is one of the easiest on the system CPU minable coins that I am aware of so you may be ok if you keep a close eye on it.

Why is mining on a laptop not a good idea and what needs to be have an eye kept on it?

It can overheat, if the laptop isn't well designed.

As long as you are sure it won't overhead, mining on a laptop can be extremely efficient.

Ah, ok cool. I have an asus rog that I am learning to mine with, so far even using the gpu it doesn't get above 85°(except when I used the minergate mining software) but have been able to keep it around 80. Is there anything else I should watch for? I'm going to try mining this to try it out.

I agree Aeon is one of the "easier on the cpu" algos, I mine cpu and gpu on an HP Omen but it's up on a stand with a significant fan under it when I do,.... talk about dedicated...or obsessed ....

Seems to do fine but as a general rule yes laptops, bad idea.
