Why does my laptop overheat?

Friday 7th October at 12:45 pm by Sam Francis

If you use your laptop on your lap, or leave it plugged in all the time, you may well be cruising for what some experts call Picnic (Problem in Chair Not in Computer).   Despite the name, a laptop should be operated on a flat and firm surface so that it rests on the four little rubbers on the base.   The point is to allow air to circulate around the machine. Letting a laptop rest on your thighs — or worse, sink into a cushy cushion prevents internal heat from radiating outward and can block air intake vents.   This causes overheating, a major cause of component failure in computers.
