I needed a new laptop recently. The main things I was looking for was windows and maximum portability. I settled on a reburbished dell latitude 5300. It was that or a 5400.
I choose the 5300 because it was somewhat smaller and slimmer.
The 5300 was 13.3 inch and the 5400 was 14 inch. I know not much difference.
I have it about 24 hours. I am ok with it.
It got hot last night when I was working on it.
It worked well when I was working on it and I had some tabs open working away between the different tabs.
I had to plug it in then and a while later it got hot.
I finished my work and it did cool down quickly enough. The charger was hot too.
I didn't fully charge my laptop last night.
I plugged it in this morning without work on the laptop and it seems to be cool.
I supposed this will work for what I need it to do right now. For online studies. I might trade it in, in the winter (maybe) or next year.
I was working at my desk last night and not on my lap or in bed if that makes a difference.
The aim of my laptop is maximum portability. I am usually always on the go and out and about.
I was looking online at a laptop cooling mat that is fabric based. I raises the laptop up as well. It's some sort of a breathable fabric.
It looks like a thick fabric mat, and it does look somewhat portable and foldable into a laptop case.
I am wondering would something like that help.
