Will a warm running laptop slow down performance? Will a warm running laptop slow down performance?

Not always...laptops are meant to run at high temperatures...even up to 90 degrees Celsius. But it is common knowledge that heat it bad and cool is always good. You can test to see if it helps but more often than not, a cooler isnt needed. Internal fans keep laptops at a set temperature(if you think like a fan in a car). I hope this helps you out.

No. It doesn't get any hotter than other laptops. It has one major drawback though , the wireless internet is garbage. It doesn't work very well if you are more than 10 feet from the source.

I'm puzzled about the rave reviews regarding cool touch, too. The palm rest area on mine stays cool, but the touchpad is warm - warm enough to make it uncomfortable for me. And the first time I used it, I also experienced significant heat on the underside of the laptop on the side closest to the fan. It doesn't seem to get quite as warm now, but still warm enough that I don't want it sitting on my lap for very long. It's certainly not as cool, top or bottom, as our little Asus netbook.

Th laptop is fast runs fairly cool under full load considering its a laptop, never got concerned about the temp. Screen quality was fine too. All this considered i sent it back because the overall build quality felt very poor and it was just a lot bigger then i was willing to put up with.

Not that I have noticed. I have it plugged in a Desktop though which run cooler than laptops.

Mine doesn't. The battery isn't hot in the least. The laptop is very warm near the battery; nothing new however.

Yeah it runs pretty hot, I picked up a laptop cooling pad for mine and seems to do pretty well after that.

I have been using one and have not found slowness to be an issue at all. Your milage may vary. I run three -headed, very regularly for hour and hours per day - sometimes more than 20. However I run with my charger plugged into my laptop almost all of the time. I plub my Diamond BVU USB directly into one of the two USB ports on the side of my early-2011 Macbook Pro i7 2 GHz Intel Core I7 laptop with 16 GB of RAM installed and a booted from a 480 GB Crucial SSD, BTW.

Hi Valeria,We personally grade this laptop model heat level at 2 on 1-5 heat scale, which 5 is very hot. Hope this helps.Regards,LGI ElectronicsHP Authorized Reseller

I don't use a cooler pad and mine gets pretty warm. Note: I run Linux, which may or may not be a factor...

I run a rig with 7 of these and haven't noticed any slow down. I'm using a three year old lap top with only 2 GB of RAM. Hope this helps!

I've had both, and the one with the fan was quite a bit flimsier. This may vary from production run to production run, however. I keep close track of my computer temps (having once had the misfortune to own an HP laptop which melted) and the passive cooling seems to work as well as the fan.

The fan is quiet, overall the laptop runs smoothly and quietly. Not hot at all for normal tasks.

Yes, it does run hot and there we're times I felt like my hand was going to burn on certain places of the laptop. It only runs hot when I'm gaming for hours tho. I have not reached 100C as of yet. I put a fan underneath the laptop and can get around 85C, has spiked to 95C here and there then goes back down. I'm extremely happy with my purchase tho. :)

It handles it very well with the settings on high and after one hour of gaming noticed that the unit started to produce more heat than normal. As expected of any laptop due to the load on its GPU, but it never froze, slowed or anything of sort. Do not expect a alienware or SLI performance out of this machine it still a single mobile GPU but it does a great job.

Hi, I tested this laptop with Grid Autosport and playing like for an hour it reached 74C on GPU and 80C on CPU. It's ok for a laptop which wasn't designed for playing games.

It should be fine to just keep running, and it uses less power (and generates less heat) than a typical desktop PC in the process. That means you should be spending less to have it continue running all that time.
