Cheap Efficient NonTech Laptop Overheating Solution

If you go to the following internet address in Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Sorbothane-Hemisphere-Non-skid-Adhesive-Durometer/dp/B0042U6ZDU/ref=pd_sbs_ind...

 

You can buy the 1" Sorbothane Hemisphere Rubber Bumper Non-skid Feet with Adhesive 50 Durometer - 4-Pack to attach to the bottom of your computer (without blocking any vents) for $12.95 plus shipping.

 

The feet are one inch round by 1/2 inch tall.  Just peel and stick on the bottom of your computer in strategic places to raise it far enough to allow air to flow thru below the computer as needed.  No plugs or ports needed, no extra junk to carry around in your laptop bag.  My computer still fit into my laptop bag afterward. The computer sits level on a computer lapsurface.

 

I've used this method on several laptops that got hotter than I wanted them to be and it doesn't matter what make or model, the method works cheaply and efficiently.

 

If you need something fast, you can also try Home Depot or Lowes for similar products.  Good luck!

Re: Cheap Efficient NonTech Laptop Overheating Solution

If you decide to go to Home Depot or Lowes, you will find these things or something like them in the section that has furniture sliders & cupboard bumpers (to quiet slamming cupboard doors). I think even WalMart sells them in the do it yourself section. Good luck!
