It is a common problem with laptops, cooling. My current laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad and I went with it cause I felt it could handle the capabilities of AutoCad for my drafting classes. It did its job in that department and runs the program just fine, however, it overheats badly when running the program.
I am wondering if it has to do with the cpu; it was on the lower end of what was recommended at 2.1 Ghz (with the 2.6 potential) AutoCad needs about 2.5 to 2.9. I am wondering if that is what is putting the extra strain on it and causing it to run hotter.
Reason I ask is because I am looking to purchase a new laptop again soon and want to prevent this from being an issue in the future. Is it due to the cpu that it runs hot or are there other elements I should look out for when making my selection?
