This is gonna sound noobish. But I'm new to mining. I dont have mining hardware & I dont intend on buying it.  So I was wondering I I could mine XTL on a laptop? And is there anyone here mining XTL on your laptop using an advanced graphics card?

Yes, you could mine some for fun using your laptop, but it depends on what hashrate you can get. you may not get many coins. Buying may be cheaper currently. However, for learning and in particular for fun, yo can try it out. Just click to a pool like community pool or crytponight pool and you should find a “start”. From there, yo can find the instruction of how to mine. Basically, you need to download a wallet to create an address which you will use to receive your coins. You then need to download a mining software which is suitable to your laptop (with CPU or maybe plus GPU) to mine.

Try it out for fun.

Out of interest, is it really a good choice to mine from your laptop that you also use for doing your work? Isn't mining a very resource intense process and could blow your processor if you do it for a while?
It's your own choice. I do it for fun when I'm not using my laptop. As long as the CPU is properly cooled you'll be fine.
