Hot Laptop

>>18481323
If it's a Macbook, as in the picture, then yes, that's just poor design on Apple's part. Macbooks overheat under even a moderate load unless you have some sort of external cooling or the ambient temperature is fairly low.

Considering that a laptop cooling pad costs like $10-$20, you're a dope if you shelled out the money for an Apple product.

You can find videos on youtube for how to open most brands and models of laptop, as well as information on how to clean out dust and even replacing faulty fans. If you're not able to follow and figure out how to do it on your own, that has nothing to do with your gender -- you just aren't very bright.

What are you putting it on? If you're putting it on your lap or a pillow it will get up like crazy. You might be running too many things at once too. What type of laptop is it?

If you still have warranty, send it in.
If not, unscrew the back cover ("bottom" of the laptop), remove all dust and hair. Go find someone not tech illiterate and have them replace the thermal paste.
Buy a laptop cooling pad for less than a day's wage.

I don't have the tools to open it up. Never needed a screwdriver before.

I have like 10 tabs at the same time, utorrent on and watching something on vlc player. It used to handle that much but I guess summer affects it, too.

I bought it in 2013, warranty was only for 2 years. I need a new one honestly, been looking for a summer job. Tech stuff are expensive where I live.

>10 tabs open at once
REEEEEEEEEEE THIS TRIGGERS ME CLOSE THE FUCKING TAB WHEN YOU'RE DONE AHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm a tab junkie. I used to have more than 100 at a time. No wonder my laptop is dying on me now.

Must suck to not know anyone who owns a screwdriver.

You can reduce the CPU load from multiple tabs by disabling Adobe Flash (if you haven't already).

If you're really fucking cheap, use some sort of spacer (block of wood, tile, paperback book) to lift your laptop off the table so there's airflow underneath, and use a regular table fan. Don't block ventholes and leave hot areas on the bottom of the laptop exposed so that air can flow past them to cool the computer down.

Who the fuck doesn't own a screwdriver.

Then go buy a screwdriver, it's like $5. Seriously, you're going to need to learn how to fix stuff around the house. Either that or call someone to help you for every minor inconvenience. Your overheating problem might be just because too much dust collected in your laptop, if that's the case all you have to do is clean it.

>>18481323
Blow it out with an airgun. You'll be surprised at all the dust and shit clogging up the fans and overheating your processor.

Thank you all. I will try to open it up and clean the dust.

Someone said that I could off my pc's shut down if too hot function, would that permanently damage it?

>would that permanently damage it?
Yes, that's very likely. Don't do that.
