As a learning experience, you can absolutely mine with it. But you won't be making anything worth paying the fees to withdraw. (Assuming the model laptop you linked has a gtx 1050) Look into mining Zcash with EWBF miner. Both very easy to get started.

Yes you can mine for certain periods, you have no commitment. I'd suggest you mine an equihash coin, zcash or zencash. Mining uses very little bandwidth. You can mine just fine on windows with small systems (like yours).

No, that's a waste of $100. It would have to go up THOUSANDS of dollars for you to make $5 when you include the exchange fees you'd face when buying your $100 worth of coin, and more fees when you sell it. You'd be much better off buying $100 worth of something else like litecoin, ethereum, or...

Are you comfortable buying used? You could get sound bar systems with external sub that go for 300+ new, for the price you're looking for.

No way to tell for certain but you're on the right track. Could be shorting something out, pulling on a connection causing it to momentarily disconnect, etc ...my suggestion would be to not lean on that section of the laptop.

What is your budget? The only convertibles I have experience with are Windows Surface tablets... many different models. Those are fantastic.

That sound card is overkill for hyper X cloud, pretty low quality headphones. I'd recommend Sennheiser HD 650s with that budget...
