Is this laptop prone to overheating without a cooling mat?

Hi, yes it does. In fact mine died only one year after I bought it due to overheating. Couldn't get warranty replacement (due to the fact that went down a week after the warranty expired). So I wouldn't recommend this laptop at all. Nor this one o any other Toshiba laptop.

As long as the fans on the bottom are not covered, personally i have had no problems with noise or getting too hot, gaming on it has ben perfection.

Yes, I've been on my computer for hours and it did not over-heat and I'm a avid user of my computer so that says a lot.

I use my laptop as a DJ. Under normal use my laptop ran on the warm side anyway. While running as many as four music tracks at once and driving as many as four screens for video it sometimes would overheat and shut down causing an embarrassing situation. After getting the Thermaltake Cool Pad I no longer need worry about overheating. It was a great choice. There was only one problem with it shortly after I got it: The mini USB connection came loose inside and was unble to plug it in. I removed the small circuit board, sent it to Thermaltake and they promptly replaced it free of charge and paid postage back to me. Otherwise, still using without fail 18 months later.

It doesn't cool the laptop but it does prevent your legs from getting overheated/burned. Doesn't the computer have a built in fan?

Hello. As with any cover, overheating is an inherent problem. I have this product and use it when traveling. At home, I remove the cover to allow heat dissipation of the laptop.

If you are using it for a serious gaming machine, it may shut down from overheating itself.Otherwise it seemed to cool itself fine.

The laptop has a powerful fan and blows all the heat out on the left side, so of course try no to keep it covered when it's on. I was at first worried the heat would affect the power cord that is not too far from the heat source, but the actual power cord is surprisingly cool despite that; it has worked well without an additional cooler but it wouldn't hurt to get one. My room has two fans so just in case I keep them on especially when I game. My gaming performance hasn't been affected at all and I play WoW on the High settings. But if you just surf the internet and use basic stuff it doesn't produce much heat at all. The most heat it uses is if you are playing a big game The laptop has a powerful fan and blows all the heat out on the left side, so of course try no to keep it covered when it's on.

I can't speak to your specific situation but I'll give you an example. My MacBook Pro gets a little warmer than usual when I do graphic design (ie InDesign) and it still felt warm with the fan running on full power. My computer was overheating a lot when I did video editing and I haven't noticed it as much lately but then again, I haven't done a lot of video lately either. I'm not confident that the fan is strong enough to keep your laptop cool but maybe it would be just enough to prevent complete overheating.

I Have Never Had a Problem With This Laptop Overheating And I Use It For Obese Software Such As QuickBooks, Photoshop And Google Sketchup/Make

Never had heat issue. the air flows very well. air comes in from the front of the case and goes out from the back. and the original fans are high quality so you should have no problem with cooling!

My laptop does exactly the same thing, and the answer is yes it cools all over. Sometimes when I first turn the fan on I slide it a bit so the left side is more towards the center just to get immediate results but once the side is cooler to the touch I center the laptop on the pad and it maintains the lower temperatures just fine.

I never over heat but to be fair, I also prop up the laptop a bit by putting a book under neath it while using the laptop buddy.

My laptop never even get warm with just the fans in the laptop. I have never had a computer put out so little heat as this one does.

The ASUS ROG G750JH is, indeed, a beast of a laptop in terms of performance. And, in my experiences with it, over the past few months, it runs cool when I play games for hours on end. So, in my opinion, you likely will not have need for a laptop cooler.

No I bought this case almost a year a go and I have never had problems with overheating and I use my MacBook Pro every single day for more than 8 hrs.
