Will a warm running laptop slow down performance? Will a warm running laptop slow down performance? Mine is so slow I'm ready to buy a new pc!

Not always...laptops are meant to run at high temperatures...even up to 90 degrees Celsius. But it is common knowledge that heat it bad and cool is always good. You can test to see if it helps but more often than not, a cooler isnt needed. Internal fans keep laptops at a set temperature(if you think like a fan in a car). I hope this helps you out.

In my personal experience, only the highest of high heat in a laptop will cause slower performance. This usually occurs when my CPU and graphics card have temperatures above 85 Celsius. Stuttering in games or programs will start to occur, followed afterward by a blue screen and system shutdown. However, running below these danger zone temperatures (which are different for each machine) shouldn't cause noticeable performance drops, but constant, high heat situations over time will probably shorten the computer's life.

I suggest you:- Review the settings of your SSD. Use the Magician Software-->Sys Mgmt-->OS Optimization and try to enable/disable some services.- Maybe with an USB external cooler added in the base of your laptop you can reduce heat.

Yes. with little activity the fan hardly runs. With more processing it really blows. I found the problem with mine was some Toshiba installed gaming that was running all the time. causing the fan to run on high all the time. I couldn't figure out how to turn the game off (or how it even got turned on) so I just uninstalled it and my machine now runs quiet.

No. A laptop is a bad investment, from a performance standpoint - if you want performance, get a small form factor desktop.

CPU clock speed is only one aspect of processor performance. If you are asking if the computer reacts quickly, it does and is noticeably better than a mid-level laptop. This is my first ultrabook, and using anything less now feels painfully slow. I often have a dozen or more Office documents open at a time along with other programs and the processor never gets hot or slows down.

This is my first laptop, I would have to ask my computer tech. I'm interested in knowing the answer to that question as well!

I run a rig with 7 of these and haven't noticed any slow down. I'm using a three year old lap top with only 2 GB of RAM. Hope this helps!

Mine is not slow, lots of other issues though am researching other laptops to replace this new one. Scan for viruses often and delete your cookies and history. Good Luck!

I just bought this laptop and I'm having the same problem. It runs fine and suddenly freezes and nothing works. The only way out is a cold boot with a prolonged unsuccessful Windows 7 repair attempt. Any ideas how to correct this problem?

FYI - I've got an HP with an AMD chip and that sucker runs hot (running Vista). Cooling fan runs all the time. Another HP I recently bought has the Intel chip and it runs significanlt cooler (Win 7). Can't tell if it the chip or OS but all I can report is what I'm experiencing. The guy at Best Buy had the same comment on AMD chips.

I think there's something wrong. I have the same model and have never had a notebook/laptop that stayed this cool. There is only the slightest elevation in temp near the op of the touchpad and zero in palm rest areas on either side. Even the hottest area on the underside is only comfortably warm on my lap, about the same as one of my kitties. (Hmmm...maybe not even that warm.) I've had it 3 weeks and use many hours each day. This is the first laptop that I can literally rest on my lap!

Yes it gets hot when playing, my room is usually warm and that doesnt help i am playing skyrim at 67C-72C, the other thing is that i play with the laptop on my lap, maybe using it at a desk may help, and im planning on buying something to get my room a little bit cooler in the days hehe

Yes, it does run hot and there we're times I felt like my hand was going to burn on certain places of the laptop. It only runs hot when I'm gaming for hours tho. I have not reached 100C as of yet. I put a fan underneath the laptop and can get around 85C, has spiked to 95C here and there then goes back down. I'm extremely happy with my purchase tho. :)

I have been getting about 4 hours but I have never run it all the way down. I also have not changed any of the default setting so you might get more by cutting performance.

Yeah it runs pretty hot, I picked up a laptop cooling pad for mine and seems to do pretty well after that.

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.

Ok, thanks for all these infos, but I know nothing much about computers except to use them, so I bought a msi u120 because I need to use it for personal office work and web browsing as well as msn chat. I'd also like to install a genealogy program on it. Can anyone tell me if its power will be enough for that. Don't laugh, but I'm pretty lost and I didn't even receive the beast yet. probably sometimes next week. so any advice before I start it and its capacities will be welcome. Don't laugh again, it's the first time in years that I buy myself a computer and my first laptop too.
