Yes, the main use of the laptop is for work and gaming, I was just wondering if I could just earn a bit extra while not using it for that, but it seems that is not a good idea. What about the cpu mining?

In a regular computer, the processor and video card have different cooling systems, while a laptop has a complex cooling system.
Overheating of one chip affects the temperature of other parts in a closed case.
Why do you need a passive income of $ 500 a year if you buy a laptop for $ 5,000?
