    Don’t view porn on your laptop. If you shut off the porn, that will make your laptop less hot! Ha!

    be careful when u buy a laptop cooling pad. some fan speed are soooo slow that u can barely feel the breeze (USB – powered). even if u connect to AC-DC, it is useless

    Am i listening to an idiot…. I am using an MacBook right now and the battery is the last thing that gets hot. The MacBook I have is from my school and we never ever had any issues with battery overheating…

  15. jap3zy says:

    Yep. I used to use laptop but after it broke in 1 week i bought real computer.

  16. agntroboy1995 says:

    too right, but laptops can be much more useful for school like me for example i have both.

    he he left pc screen is my old pc screen.its to small now that i got a 27 inch mac

  18. jap3zy says:

    Yep ur right xxmtgxx but i meant in gaming using laptop. Laptop cannot overheat by normal using but it overheats f****** much in games. Desktop is easy to carry with you use it anywhere (u must need 3g stick to this) but use internet anywhere but if gaming with normal, i say No.

  19. xxmtgxx says:

    Carry your desktop to work with your or around town and keep it powered.

  20. jap3zy says:

    Just dont buy laptop, buy real computer, its that simple. Its cheapier more powerful and faster.

    This entire area is the ‘b a t t e r y’. Erm… are we all retards or is it just you?

  22. FRURMELLL says:

    You know what you should do? Disassemble the laptop, clean out the dust and replace thermal paste. Done!

  23. matchbox2022 says:

    true dat.

  24. matchbox2022 says:

    It’s called throttling, and your cpu does it so it doesn’t kill itself. Clean your fans man.

  25. matchbox2022 says:

    The memory is not right beneath the processor. It’s better to decrease your power draw, you’ll have longer battery life and everything involved uses less power. The easiest way is to dim your screen, turn your wifi power settings to minimum, disable the video card (if you have newer nvidia ones typically 9000series and up its tres easy.), and to throttle the cpu speed.

    I’ve never had memory ‘pop’ from heat, but yes the cpu could shut itself off if the fans were really, really plugged.
