[QUOTE="Toxxyc, post: 781486, member: 19314"] Depends on the laptops, to be honest. If no dedicated GPU (in other words graphics like Intel HD4000 or something), it won't really be worth it. That's because mining uses processing power, so if the laptop has no GPU it will use the CPU, making it mostly useless for all other tasks (it cannot really be used while it's mining). If they have GPUs (no matter how small) and you don't have to pay for power, start them up and run Nicehash on them, point them all to your own wallet and see what happens. Don't be surprised though if some people who's supposed to work on them complain about how hot they're getting :P [/QUOTE]
