subject: Why Laptop Fans Are Great Accessories [print this page] It seems like ages ago, but just a few short years ago I swore by the desktop computer and couldn't think of using anything but one. When I got my first laptop, I really thought I'd never like it as much as my bigger machine.
While it's true that I still use a desktop at the office and I appreciate some of its perks, none of them mount up to the laptop's advantages. I have such an easier time bringing my portable companion around with me wherever I go.
If I'm on the road, all of my work comes with me. I can also listen to any music or watch any videos saved on my computer, as it's all up to me and easy to access.
I do have one complaint about laptops though. When I'm using them and they're powered on, they heat up to really uncomfortable temperatures. I've tried a bunch of different techniques that I thought would cool it down, but none have worked.
What scares me even more is the fact that some people make claims that a hot laptop is dangerous. They say that it could potentially threaten one's fertility, and the thought of something like this is obviously unpleasant. It also makes me sweat if I have it powered on for too long a time.
It seemed like something had to be done. I didn't want to give up my laptop, but I couldn't continue using it unless it was sitting atop a table. This took away some of its novelty. Fortunately, I found a solution in a laptop cooler.
Without endorsing any specific brand or make (this will depend on the size of your unit and your overall preferences), I can say that using one makes a world of difference.
It's been such a joy not having to worry about using a hot unit on my legs anymore. Additionally, any cooler I've come across has been quiet so they're by no means disruptive. If you find yourself in the situation I was recently in, I would definitely make the moves.
