Question

New laptop that does not heat up too fast

Feb 29, 2016 6:53AM PST

Hey you guys!

I am currently looking for a new laptop that does not overheat that fast. My old one a Toshiba (5 years old) overheats already after 1hr with a cpu temperature of about 70 - 80 degrees celsius. A cleaning of the whole cooling system did not really help. So after 1 hr and (70 degrees) there is high perfomance loss what makes the laptop almost unusable....
Anybody has ideas which models are built not to overheat fast??

Sbdy has some tips or ideas?

Here is the new Acer Predator

It has the new frost core colling device that pops in and out. Gaming PC are designed to provide better cooling but are high performance. The laptops are much better at cooling then 5 years ago. The 2 in 1's and ultra PC's now have the U processors that don't get as hot and are designed much more energy efficient..
