A quick search around these forums and you’d find the answer to your question very easily.

CPU mining is no longer viable. The network hashrate is over 300 MSol/s. Your CPU is getting 5 Sol/s. You currently solo mining which puts you in an even thinner bracket. Your chance of mining a block is 0%. You should think about GPU mining and joining a pool. You cannot mine on a pool or with a GPU using the Zcash client.

Poor Laptop. You are going to kill it before you reach ROI.
