Laptop warming up room

"Mom, have you gone to the doctor lately? Because I think you're retarded."

 

/jk

she should go take ''the retarded test''

I wasn't complaining, it was a passing comment. She then proceeded to mock me.

 

Well she's being an idiot

Find an explanation of heat dissipation and have her read it.

Sound cooler than Post Office Worker. I will try, if she says it to me again, I will get out paper and explain the kinetic theory to her.

Well it's not a terrible job, it's painful being a teacher in a country that gives zero shits about teachers.

It's more efficient in the radiator's it's ability to transfer the heat to the air due to the larger surface area so just heats up the surrounding air faster.

In the short term, sure.  Once it's reached steady state though, the room will end up sitting at the same temperature regardless, whether you're moving a lot of warm air, or a little very hot air - the same amount of heat is being generated, and (eventually) lost to surroundings (other rooms, outside, etc.) thus keeping the room at whatever temperature it is going to reach.

Yeah, about 1500 or 1800 watts vs maybe 200.  But in either case, in terms of heat, you get exactly what you are paying for  It's not like the laptop is going to heat the room by the same amount or more while consuming less power.

Hi,

My mum is making fun out of me currently for saying that I'm hot due to my laptop heating up my corner of the room. My laptop reaches 95 degrees Celsius, and she still says that. Tell her she's wrong please.

"Mum, small room heaters are like 1200 wat's, this laptop is only like 100 wat's at max. Small room heaters suck mum, and this laptop is only 1/10 of a sucky room heater."

Many people don't know what a watt is. Many people don't apply basic rules of physics that they've learned in school to their daily lives.

 

Then again, many people don't apply adequate punctuation and spelling to their sentences. Who is more guilty here?

That's why I said "wat's" lol.

She may actually be right. After gaming on my laptop for long periods of time, my room becomes considerably warmer than the rest of the house. Could just be that I'm nervous when gaming and that makes me sweat

[GnatDaGnat]

why?

 

Well it's a big possibly-annoying gif. Possibly you should make it so one needs to click in order to see it

That's backing up MY point, not my mother's.

Half, at least, of these replies are not understanding the question asked..

ik. I'm not the best at phrasing these kind of things, however, so it may be partly my fault.
