I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records.

This stuff is unbearable, I can't even play video games on my laptop, because it warms up very fast and the keyboard becomes uncomfortable for me to use.

So, could you please share any useful tips on how do you survive the summer?

Get a desktop. Despite what people are going to tell you, laptops are not an optimal choice for gaming. It usually always comes down to the fact that those little tiny cases are not efficient at removing heat.

Over heating and under performing is the typical story for gaming laptops.

Bands making those gaming laptops are the only one telling you they are ideal.

Desktop is mostly largely superior in any aspects except size and weight.

The comment is kinda bold but I can't blame you since you don't know anything about me and stuff

I have a desktop it's specs are on par with laptop's ones. I don't use desktop nowaday because it's a less power efficient option whilst I can accomplish all tasks on my laptop. No, I didn't buy a "gaming" laptop, lmao, they're all a joke. I only mentioned videogames since I play them occasionally and it was a good example of how bad the heat was at the time
