How do you keep your laptop cool during Summer?

Just uninstalled Chrome, and things cooled down pretty much instantly.

Grab one of these USB laptop fans on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3rIHkra

I got an M1 from work and all my problems disappeared 😅

My teammates and I were discussing literally the same thing today! Our Macbook Pros (2020) are heating up a lot these days! We're trying to track down whether this is due to a particular software or app, but it seems the only difference has been the weather/room temperature ☀️🔥

Use laptop feet/holder that raises the laptop. Combine that with a fan blowing on the side and you're set. I used a MacBook Pro 15 (2015) during the heatwave and this solved my MacBook throttling problem I know you said you don't want new laptop recommendations but I just sold my laptop to get the M1 MacBook Air. It's 3 times faster and consumes significantly less power which means less heat!

I am working only at night, somewhere underground

Laptop standard are a great way. I’d also recommend using canned air to try and clean the fans in the back

- 5 fan laptop stand but not with plastic grips as the MBP is too heavy and will slide off - cleaning the fans (only this can knock off 40c) EDIT: I mean open the laptop and clean inside, outside fans not enough - iStat fan running at max 100% of the time

-Don"t put it on a soft underlay or in the sun -Make the room cooler (Airco/Air) where your Laptop is -Don"t let it on the whole day if you"re not using it

Hello, @syswarren I recommend Turbo Boost Switcher Pro for the MacBook if you are running an Intel processor. The software allows you to disable Turbo Boost causing your computer to run cooler. One of the best $9.95 I have ever spent on technology as my computer no longer sounds like a helicopter taking off and I may be able to get another year of out it! http://tbswitcher.rugarciap.com/
