In other words, my laptop is hotter than hell.
A year ago, I turned in my dead Dell for an HP Pavilion dv2000. I know right? It has "2000" on it, so it's from the future. Well as casual as my PC gaming interests are, I still want to kick around some year-oldie-but-goodies without many problems, but problems I have! It seems I can't play 20 minutes of WoW without my lappy burning a hole in the desk, the table, the leg... it's indiscriminate, really. And then the lag just gets out of hand. I downloaded a demo of Dawn of War 1 on Steam, but apparently that will only last until a multi-squad skirmish breaks out. Then the heat is on.
Anywho, I kinda thought this new lappy could handle at least some older games, but it's having much the same problem my last one had, and I'm beginning to wonder, is even casual PC gaming a towers-only Sam's club kind of thing with an old lady at the door to make sure i'm toting around a 50 pound desktop to get in the warehouse? I like laptops. But I sure do wish I could game it once in a while. Anyone feel my pain, or better yet, have a creative cooling solution? That would be supurb. Well, don't buy this guy unless you wanna drill some extra holes in the plastic casing!
