If you set "Optimize Settings" to "Memory" then multiboxing isn't all that bad. I do 9 accounts with a quad-core OCd@4.2 and 16GB RAM that I built in 2011. Generally I'd recommend desktop over laptop unless you really need the portability or something.

I would not recommend trying to multibox 10 accounts on a laptop unless you are seeking to circumvent the NPT...

Its not so much the hardware as the lack of shame

When you say "multibox 10 accounts" and you are talking about a laptop, you are clearly not talking about having 10 accounts on screen at the same time, I guess you will be Alt-Tabbing a lot (or botting and getting yourself banned).

Having said that, memory is going to be your biggest contested resource. To run 10 accounts on a single computer I would try to get 16-24 GB of RAM. If that is not an option then a nice fast SSD will help your computer page faster as it runs out of RAM (might need to set the page file larger than the Windows default.)

The CPU and graphics requirements should not be much more than what is needed to run what is on the screen at any given time.

If you say so

I reserve the right to fundimentally disagree

And I will continue to discourage anyone from it

I've cooked 3 video cards on two gaming-grade laptops.

I moved to using a desktop.

Unfortunately you won't get banned for it

They like their extra plex sales too much

Laptop? Uh, not happening. Top-of-the-line for a laptop is mid grade (i.e. average consumer grade) in a desktop. My suggestion is to build yourself a mid-tower A10 desktop (Kaveri, for the HSA). You're definitely going to need about 16 gigs of Corsair Dominator or similar, a gaming grade motherboard (they're not expensive for the FM2+ socket), a small Samsung EVO SSD, and an R7 260X. You'll spend about the same as you would for a good Team Monopoly laptop (~$1500), but it won't bog down and crash from heat dissipation issues, nor will it die in a year from the same.

I would suggest finding a game you like to play instead of one you like to farm.

Nothing wrong with making 1b an hour soloing incursions in the safety of highsec during slow periods.

Profit per character is still the same as it would be running 1 guy with other people. That said, you can do them whenever you want without waiting for other scrubs to form up, which is an advantage.
