So my friend has some $2000 computer, me, I have an Acer laptop 2015
He told me laptops don't have the best life span, maybe 1-2 years
Wow, that's not alot, I'm use to consoles lasting and entire console life span. I'm not concerned about my laptop not able to run , say better graphic games as they are released, I'm concerned about its performance dropping
How long will my laptop last with my cooling pad? I play on high, max texture, resolution, 30-37 fps, not ultra ish with ambient oculsion, and 60fps, I have had it a year, no issues, and I play about 8-15 hours a week

✭✭✭✭✭It really depends on what changes or updates ZOS makes.
Comparison to this
I rand this on a laptop from 2013-2015 until the direct x update on a laptop with only 8gig of ram a GTX260m. It was my WoW laptop so....I think it lasted 6 years.
That's a very old laptop vid card but it was fine until the update but I never got over 20-25 FPS
Obviously now you have direct x 11 so as long as that min requirements aren't changed....it'll last until the machine breaks.Edited by NewBlacksmurf on December 22, 2016 1:51AM-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

✭lower graphics a little bit and disable Anti Aliasing if you have it enabled
i think issue with gaming laptops is battery becoming inefficient over time and not having proper cooling circuit.. thats why gaming laptops like alienware/ asus rog/ msi have optimized cooling circuits.. unlike urs :P
cooling pad does help indeed...
and excessive use may affect durability aswell.. if u play on a laptop with 65c temperature many hours non stop1 -

Good to know it lasted you so long, I would like 5 years with ESO at least, my model is December 2015, so basically 2016ish0 -

I have a cooling pad on every time I play, it USE to get hot, so I stopped and bought the pad,by now at most it barely can be considered warm,
Will that give it a good life span?0 -

Kronz✭✭✭For what ever you spend on a laptop you can get way more power on a desk top. I spent 1500 6+ years ago and built my own desk top. Its still a beast, I upgraded my graphics card once and can still play any game on max settings with killer frames. I don't get people that blow money on a lap top for gaming unless you really need to be mobile with it.1 -

You never ever play with a gaming laptop using the battery.1 -

✭The battery comments are spot on. If you are near a power source, always take the battery out. Having it in while playing will only make it way too hot and that will ruin it, reducing its lifespan without reason."If a stick of fish is a fish stick, it will stick like other fish sticks stick"
