Do "desktop replacement" laptops have good cooling

[Guest]

So while I was watching the recent ShortCircuit video on the Razer Blade 18 (while you-know-what was happening), I wanted to see if a desktop replacement is good for me. I like the idea of having a full computer I can move around in my apartment, but I need to know if it has good temps, or if the cooling is just as bad as a normal laptop. Thanks!

Laptops in general have worse cooling than their desktop counterparts, as well as having lower power components compared to their desktop counterparts. Even gaming laptops have essentially the same coolers as a standard laptop, they're just beefier for the hotter gaming components, so regardless of what kind of laptop you get cooling/temps as well as fan noise is almost always going to be a downside. Especially if you're looking for one that's slim like a Razer Blade. I've never heard of laptops being labeled as a "desktop replacement" laptop before so I don't know what you're referring to there.

I would say it's adequate.

The issue with "good" is that if you only care about temperature then yes, it's good. But rest in peace to your ears.

 

Also as explained in that video, they are using a graphene sheet instead of thermal paste which means worse temperature but you don't need to do maintenance for far longer by having to replace it. So there are trade-offs.
