I wasn't really asking if you think I should use my laptop or not.  I asked how to get better hash rates.

Also, the laptop performs just as well as a desktop.  Once I grab a cooling pad, my temps will be cut considerably.  Besides, it can comfortably run on max for 24 hours without an issue.  Having the exact same hardware in a desktop would do me almost no good.  It would likely also cost me more.  This laptop was only $800.

Anyway, discussing laptop vs desktop is a moot point, because I HAVE a laptop, and I do NOT HAVE a desktop, and I will not be selling this laptop for a desktop, and I will still be mining bitcoins, regardless.  So it's all a pretty useless discussion.  You're essentially just finding a reason to bash laptop mining any way you can.  If you have positive feedback, I welcome it.  If you do not, you may think it all you like... but to yourself.  I'm just looking for tips on how to maximize the profitability of what I CURRENTLY have.


Essentially, telling me to go buy a desktop is like if I asked how to maximize hash rates on an Antminer S7, you reply "Don't use that, go buy an S9".  My question wasn't "Should I use a different miner?".  It was about maximizing hash rates.  Please, stay on topic.
