Nope. Laptop hash rates are not super great, and that sustained heat isn't great for such a small device. Especially at the whooping $90/month you'll get from it.

Haha ok sounds good...never tried, thought to ask, thanks!
Probably not enough to profit much with, but possibly enough to recoup costs. Just be careful to provide good ventilation (e.g use a fan base), and limit temps etc. so it doesn't wear out. Well designed laptops can run 24/7 but not necessarily full power (I have multiple laptops that have seen years of 'on time'). The goal is to optimize for long term mining, not for the best possible hashrate (which could cause premature damage to the laptop).
I'm doing this on an Asus laptop with a 2070 (should be relatively similar). We'll see how it goes long term, but currently getting about $115/month, so it will hopefully pay for itself. I keep the GPU temp at<60, which should be sustainable indefinitely. The goal for me is not so much to make money as to make my gaming hobby revenue neutral
RTX 3060 had mining blocked on the nvidia drivers. Workarounds are supposedly possible. Not sure about mobile version.
TLDR; Don't buy any laptop if your primary or only goal is mining. But as a side hustle, it might be worth it.
Even their printers are sucking, I had bought a really nice one for $200 freaking went bad in three months they sent me a replacement it went bad within two printing jobs go figure
