How they were built in my experience. I had an HP that kept overheating after 30min. I finally took it apart. Fan connected to a copper euct system that passed over the gpu and cpu. Over the cpu there was a gap big enough to see under. I ended up taking a 1980 penny and sanded that shit smooth, pasted it on both sides with teeny drops, then clamped it back down. Overheating stopped, but after about 3 mo the wifi broke, then 3mo after that the gpu (same chip on that mobo). Damage had already been done. I then got a Dell, only to find out about a year later the mobo was involved in a class action lawsuit, only my model, despite having the same board, didn’t get a recall. I am not a fan of laptops tbh.
But not battery life
Or cooling. I don’t know what it is about older laptops, but when they were new they seemed quiet and chill, and as they age they become lap-cookers.
Perhaps just dust collecting inside and maybe thermal paste aging a little too much. Cleaning 'em out may suffice to get them running cooler again.
That’s because back in the day the computer would run windows XP and not 5 electron apps simultaneously
