Hi all,
I'd like this to be a discussion about external cooling pads (not thermal pads for heatsinks!) to be placed underneath a laptop.
I have a Dell Latitude 7300 that I need to hit with some really tough and long workloads sometimes (deep learning and video editing), while working on further coding at the same time. No money for a desktop PC. The cooling really can't cope with the current summer heat (>30°C), the CPU thermal-throttles, the whole laptop becomes hot and sweaty, and the fan is deafening. I found I can fix that with a cooling pad as that laptop has an air intake from the bottom and an exhaust at the back.
But what about my wife's 2015 Macbook Pro? She also has the same problems, but her bottom panel is one solid piece of aluminium! Aren't fans a bit pointless in that case? Could a cooling pad with a turbine like this be more effective:
Keen to hear stories of owners of MBPs or any other laptops with no bottom vents. Thank you all!
