Is your laptop turning into a mini heater? You’re not alone! Laptop overheating is every user’s nightmare, but don’t worry, we have solutions that cost you nothing! Dust is the main culprit — it clogs the ventilation holes and suffocates your digital buddy. Grab a vacuum on the lowest setting, a brush, or compressed air and clean those vents like you’re prepping for an inspection. But wait, there’s more! Prop up the back of your laptop with a pen or rubber pad so air can breathe. Close all those unnecessary programs and browser tabs — your processor isn’t a marathon runner; it doesn’t need to run 24/7! And please, don’t use your laptop on a bed or pillow because soft materials block ventilation and turn your computer into a furnace on wheels. Change your performance settings to ‘balanced’ instead of ‘high performance’ and regularly update your drivers — outdated software can cause extra heating. You can apply all these tricks immediately, for free, with just a little willpower. If not, get ready for your laptop to become your personal winter heater soon! So, have you tried any of these tips or got your own hack? Share in the comments so we can all survive the hellish laptop heat together!
