Monero can be mined, and can be done with any computer. It is a CPU mined coin, and so any computer made in the last 10 years can actually mine it just fine. I have the monero blockchain, and wallet running on a 100 dollar laptop. (Intel I-3 Quad core,4Gb ram). And that I also mine with on top of that with the same laptop and my temps never get above 145F, so I would say really there is no need to buy it. I have made over 1000 dollars worth of Monero in less than 1 year already, and I only have 2 of these running. I have also mined Monero on a Pentium 4, Pentium 4 quad core, a Intel Xeon, A pentium 3, An intel Celeron of multiple types...And actually this is the best overall CPU coin you can ever mine in recent times!!
I feel like with the explosion of GPU mined crypto such as ETH and whatnot, that CPU mining still exists. I also have mined all of the CPU coin, and come to the conclusion that Monero is the best!!

wow nice post
I will support you,upvoted
You all have good news from me that you work with me so you can earn a lot of money but you do alone
So you have taken a lot of time like you did not even mind afterwards, speaking in this for the sake of doing mill work, we can earn a lot of money in one month.

save your time, it is definitely not profitable anymore to mine Monero on laptop CPUs, especially not if they are 10 years old. Even HPC servers only make sense if you don;t have to pay for power...

These are modern CPU's that I mine on, I just said you can mine on anything made this decade..
The I-3 and I-5 Intel series is solid for mining CPU coins. I can mine things such as Bytecoin and Monero, that are CPU coin. I use hardly any electricity, because they draw such little power. I have basically an 8 core, I series miner, they run at a steady degrees 135-145F mining CPU coin at less than 280w. (The 2 Modern Laptops=probably the same as my Ps4) My power bill is always low anyway, I do not ever pay more than $60 a month, this added maby $4 a month. I also have a larger GPU mining tower, but that is now sitting because believe it or not, right now the CPU based coin mining is more profitable for me. I have 8 modern cores CPU mine, with less power, than my GPU miner that is over 650w and is mining ETH in a an over saturated situation where my rates are lower. I have made more than $1000 mining CPU coin, as opposed to my GPU tower than only got me in the same time frame $640.

I absolutely agree that it is possible, and it absolutely was worth it in the last couple of yeatds, but the "profitable" times for consumer CPUs are mostly over. As you say, "modern" CPUs are needed. You need AESNI and 2MB L3 per thread. A typical consumer laptop makes maybe around 60H/s per core. With the L3 limitations you typically can run 1-3 threads. With that hashrate and the increasing difficulty you maybe end up around 5 bucks a month, not accounting power costs and the device has to run 24/7. Laptops aren't made for that. So all I'm saying: check it carefully, there's a good chance that it isn't worth the effort for others ;)

Yeah That is a good point, I actually make with my setup between the 2 Laptops with 4 threads each running at %80 load around $130 though lately per month because of the Monero price increase above 100 usd. I feel like I hit a jackpot pool also, and these are spare rigs..
I would love for some people like you though that actually know alot about crypto (I can tell you know whats up) to revisit Monero CPU mining, its the best right now %100!! I feel like it is a complete hidden gem I have 1gb per core x 4 plus 2 machines so 8 cores with 1gig each mining happy at 140f average and a total of 280w of power. They have been running like this for many months now.

AES not needed
Here are the steps I take to install CPU miner, my CPU doesn't support AES as well:
$ sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev automake build-essential git
$ sudo apt-get install libtool
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/LucasJones/cpuminer-multi.git
$ cd cpuminer-multi
$ echo "autoreconf -i" >> autogen.sh
$ ./autogen.sh
$ sudo CFLAGS="-march=native" ./configure
$ sudo make
$ ./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://xmr.minercircle.com:80 -u -p x
AES is and cant be software driven with Opencl
