Laptop overheating?

Can i Use a laptop cooler to stop overheating

Answer:

You shouldn't need the unnecessary expense of a laptop cooler if you do two basic things. First you must alway use your laptop on a firm surface so the vent positions don't become blocked by clothing, bed covers, or other soft materials. And secondly, you must perform regular cleaning maintenance on the laptop. Depending on the environment you laptop is used in, ( usually around the home ), if you have pets and kids that tend to play indoors, the laptop vents need to be cleaned using compressed air in a can, and/or vacuumed with a hand held vacuum that has a brush attachment that can get the dust loosened around the vents and down between the keys on the keyboard to get crumbs and dust from between the keys so it doesn't get under the keys and cause problems. The maintenance schedule may be every 3 or 4 months, every 6 months, etc., depending on the environment. If you do these two things, a cooler would likely be unnecessary. People who have purchased a laptop cooler tend to quit using it after awhile because they can be unhandy to use. A laptop can slide off of the cooler and get damaged.
What you could do if yr laptop is overheating, is just put a book about an inch thick slightly under the tip of think top of yr laptop. Thats all. Seriously. No fan. No money.
as long as the vents on the sides or back or bottom is not blocked you will be fine.
yes, if the vents are on the bottom
