Another Quick Update on Using a High-End Gaming Laptop for Mining Crypto
<center>![mining](https://i.imgsafe.org/5e5b82f5cb.jpg)<br></center>

With the recent spike of Bitcoin (BTC) exchange rate already gearing for $1100 USD things are really hectic in the altcoin world as well. I'm continuing my series of posts about going for a high-end gaming laptop that you can use for crypto currency mining when you don't need it for anything else. The series centers around an Acer Predator gaming laptop with an Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU and on mining Zcash (ZEC) or more precisely selling your mining hashrate on NiceHash instead of mining directly and getting paid in Bitcoin directly.


<center><br>![mining2](http://oi68.tinypic.com/vxn9i.jpg)<br></center>

Using the NiceHash Miner and their latest EQM miner for Zcash (ZEC) shows around $1.94 USD per day, or with other words profit is getting higher than it was previously. Of course you still need to deducts the cost for the electricity used from that amount, but it is still nice to make somethign back from the hardware you get while you dont use it for work or play. CPU mining is still not very profitable on NiceHash, so you better not stress the processor of the laptop as it works pretty hot under high load and what you earn from it mining is not worth the extra power used and noise.


<br>If you have a question or want to add something, then please leave a comment below.

I'd say it is a very bad idea to use laptop, no matter how sophisticated,  for mining purposes. Mining is the process that stresses the GPU and the CPU of the computer to it fullest capability hence it produces lots of heat and this stress is not a momentary stress but it is a continuous stress. In this process lots of electricity is used and the byproduct is the heat which is the greatest enemy of the components. It is not like gaming where the power usage and the stress is not that much related to mining where the cpu and the gpu is being worked at it fullest 100%. So I say mining in laptop very bad idea. Do it only if you want to risk the components and decrease the usable life of the laptop by 50%.

I know I'm replying to an old comment here but any computer, laptop or otherwise, that can't handle 100% load all the time is a piece of junk as far as I am concerned and not something I want to pay money for. Computers are designed to compute. What's the point of having multi-core, multi-ghz cpus and gpus if you can't use them at full power? I have access to a few year old macbook pro and I notice that when the gpu is running at 100% the CPU is throttled by more than half. WTF? So much for Apple's vaunted engineering. Obviously they have prioritized style over functionality and usability. I would gladly take a laptop that was a little heavier, a little bigger and even a little louder so that it could have the appropriate cooling necessary to actually run the hardware that is in it. Sorry for the rant, it's just that this is a pet peeve of mine. Heat should never build up in a well designed machine such that it significantly shortens component life. Heat cycles are far more damaging (heating-cooling-heating-cooling).

Have you estimated the daily electricity cost? If the PC is running flat out it's going to use a fair bit. At a certain point it may be worth getting a solar panel and batteries to run it as they are getting cheaper
