Why Do Laptop Computers Get Hot?
That's a good question. Laptops get hot because every computer gets hot. Laptops tend to get hotter than desktops because they have less surrounding air inside their compact design. Keep in mind that laptops have the same heat generating components (processor, hard drive, motherboard, CD-ROM drive, DVD drive) as desktop computer, but they also have a battery that generates plenty of its own heat. To compound the problem they have smaller less powerful fans than those found in desktop computers. In addition, lots of times laptops air circulation gets blocked by a person's lap, carpet, blankets, clothing, etc. Even if you can't afford to purchase a laptop cooler, you can simply get a flat surface like an old cutting board and use it to provide the needed air gap underneath the laptop computer. The nice thing about modern (2007 or newer models) is that they are strong yet light enough to pack along with your laptop computer. If I had to recommend a plastic laptop cooler it would be the QuadCooler laptop cooler, because it's made of strong but lightweight ABS plastic and it's got 4 fans to provide balanced cooling to all the hot spots on the bottom of your laptop computer.
