this is the way!
- bliteben 3y agoI would have disagreed on heat, but would love to hear what laptops that isn't an issue on.
- thfuran 3y agoWhat do you mean?
- bliteben 3y agoMany laptops have bad thermals in general under load and often even worse with case closed.
- abwizz 3y agotrue but mostly irrelevant as there rarely is any load to speak of. if you need a heavy duty machine, use it, but most of the time you don't, that's the point. (for comparison; skylake laptop uses about 20W under max load, my 12-gen desktop uses 40W while idle)
