Suggestion: laptop coolers
Not sure if this would be better on a techquickie type of video or a benchmark / testing type. Are laptop coolers kind of a scam? Laptops are supposed to be designed to handle their thermal load under regular situations / ambient temperatures (except maybe HP laptops! just kidding...), so what's the point of the cooler?
- Could they even be detrimental in disrupting the airflow path the laptop normally has?
- Are the weird vacuum types that suck air out of the side exhaust better?
- Many people say one primary purpose is for using a laptop for your... lap, or for soft surfaces like a bed
- Overall noise level could decrease perhaps, since a laptop cooler has a much larger fan that can run at lower RPMs to cool the laptop
- Do cooler temperatures really extend the life of the laptop significantly, or will something not related to thermals fail first?
