I use a laptop most nights if my wife is watching something I don't find interesting. I sit in a recliner with a wedge-type lap desk that has a hard flat surface so cooling of the laptop itself isn't an issue.
I'm going to upgrade a nine-year old i3 laptop and was thinking of getting a gaming laptop. I'm hot-natured, and I'm wondering how much heat a gaming laptop will output from the cooling fans vs. a regular laptop. My current laptop has a 65w power brick; the gaming laptop bricks run around 160w. Does this mean the gaming laptop will generate about 2.5x as much heat as my old laptop? Or if I'm just surfing will the power draw be much lower.
I just don't want to end up not using it in the recliner because it makes me hot. I know it's subjective, but any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks.
