I actually got 2 old computers(that are way worse than laptop) But they dont really start up. So in order to buy them new things to make them work again it would be a huge investment for me(i am only 19 without a job currently).
Should i use My laptop..? my friend told me that its a bad idea because it wont mine enough btc and its just not worth.
my laptop has these
8Gb Ram
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4510U CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.60 GHz
64 bit...?
I am not an expert at this tbh . Any opinion/reply will be appreciated !! Thanks a lot

Laptops and small devices (with little airflow) are not designed for constant processor threads and will get hot then possibly overheat, lift solder and all sorts of other heat damage can occur.
Of course, you could still mine with the machine, at a reduced rate, turn down affinity on CPU mining software or reduce the thread / footprint.
This is still a good way to take part, even if not at 100% - worth a go still
And if you do use the machine for data intensive processes, make sure there is free space under the laptop for adequate airflow as many a time these machines have burnt out (with normal use) just because of being put on a table / sofa / bed and the vents blocked - the heat has to go somewhere and is better in than out!
