How to keep my laptop cool?

[Haris]

Malang,


I wish I could give this thing two separate ratings but since I can't I went with 3 stars. I'd give it 5 for design alone. The placement of the fan and its intake are great. I never have to worry about the intake being cut off by my clothing when it's on my lap, a problem I had with my previous laptop cooling pad was a Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Stand. I have also written a review for the Belkin pad.

I'd give it 1 star for the fan. The fan is extremely quiet but that is because it does not move a great deal of air. Since the air flow is very low, it is not adequately cooling my own laptop. While the 2 star reviewer states that the fan is overkill, I'd like anyone reading this to note that laptops vary between manufacturers and models. How hot your laptop gets will vary depending on make/model and even how you're using it. This pad may be good for you if your laptop only gets uncomfortably warm.

Unfortunately, this is not the case with my laptop, an older Macbook pro (that I suspect may be on its way out) that gets skin searingly hot to the point that it interferes with the functioning of the laptop. An efficient and working cooling pad is actually a necessity for me. If I could put the fan from the Belkin mentioned above, into this pad it would be perfect.

One of the reviews, rated the most helpful.



Anyway, if I do find a good fan, how will I know which size to get?
Should I measure the dimensions of my laptop and get one that is just bigger or does it have to be the same size as my laptop?

I think they have only 1 size that fits all laptops but i am not sure :S. Just email them to confirm it before purchasing.

Nokia, you mean don't connect the charger and battery at the same time?


I heard that if you use the battery and it is not connected and you let it empty and then charge it up again then that is good for the computer? is this true?

With Li-ion batteries , you shouldn't put them on charge if full and you should not let your battery die fully too . The minimal should be 10-20% and once a month you should empty your battery fully, that could save some life. Besides Li-ion batteries lose life even if you don't use them and keep them pin-packed inside a box.So , when you're buying a new battery always look for the Manufacture Date.

Thank you for the information.

Why not? Does this decrease the battery life and makes the laptop hotter?

That might decrease the battery lifetime, the temperature of laptop has more to do with components connected to mother board . Most of the PCs have fan next to processor.

So DELL is better than Sony, Toshiba, HP and "fujistu agestu"?

Assalam people.

When I use my laptop it becomes very hot (the longer I use it the hotter it gets).
It is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2540, identical to this one:


Also my charger gets very hot too, very quickly (it's relatively new, only a few months old).
Thanks.

You can change the battery inside the Lap top if the computer charger heating ,


(Also my charger gets very hot too, )

You need to start working out how to tweak your laptop.

1: Air circulation, where are the vents and are hey being covered.

2: What apps are you using, the more apps the more power it needs the harder it needs to work.

3: Power staus of your Laptop and general condtion of the harware.

Do you charge you device while using ? This will increase the heat output by atleast 30% ( my estimation)

Do you run cad/ power hungry apps/windows while surfing?

Have you cleaned the vents ( can use a vacum over the vents) to dispearse the dust and static.
