The laptop has the worst cooling you could imagine and you're going to be running the thing at full throttle cooking the internals. Don't be surprised if you damage the internals if you plan on running attacks for decent time frames.
My Macbook air has a 2.2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7.
I also have a M91p Desktop (ThinkCentre) - Type 4480 Intel Core i5-2400 Processor 4GB 500GB 7200RPM S-ATA HDD (2011)
and a Dell Inspiron 530 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 4GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM 256MB (shared) Intel GMA 3100 integrated graphics chip (2008)
Will either of these be better than my Mac? Can I combine parts from my 2 old computers to run Hashcat better than my Mac? Can I use my 2 old computers with my Mac in parallel to lighten the load?
