Hello Best Buy customer Unique1 and thank you for asking this question and although you first posted this question on this Best Buy website some four (4) months ago I will attempt to answer it anyway as I am sure that a whole lot of other people who own an expensive electronic device such as a laptop computer will really be helped by my response. I think that, for starters, it is important to recognize that "home use" may be different than "on-the-go use!" When using this or any laptop outside of the home it "may" not be possible to lug around a laptop cooling (a.k.a. "chill") pad; however, whenever I use my laptop at home, I "ALWAYS(!)" incorporate the use of a laptop cooling pad! This is a 15.6" laptop so it is important to get a laptop cooling pad that will accommodate this size or even a 17" laptop--if you have the space. I always purchase laptop cooling pads which have the "duel" fan feature and, of course, incorporate a USB connection as their power source. The laptop cooling pads which I have purchased are "super" quiet--I rarely here them running! In addition, I also make use of a keyboard wrist rest which I place right in front of the laptop and cooling pad as it serves the purpose of proper elevation<>alignment of the hands to the now increased "height" of the laptop's positioning and the keyboard wrist may also lessen the chances of developing tendonitis (numbness, tingling, etc.) of the hands--as does a mouse wrist rest. I've included some photos and product recommendations below Best Buy customer Unique1 for your and others' review and I hope that the information I've provided keeps this laptop and your future laptops running cool--"ALL" of the time!
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for your question. This model has a newer i3 so it is not comparable to the one in your older model. This one uses much less electricity thus less heat generated. One thing you mention is gaming on the computer. If you are playing most modern games you would likely be happier with something that would have a dedicated GPU in it, a desktop PC would give you a greater performance cost per dollar.
