replacing the thinkpad (thelemmy.club)
submitted 1 month ago by Vuraniute@thelemmy.club to c/memes@lemmy.ml

for anyone who wants to offer actual advice: its a lenovo thinkpad t450 with a soldered i5-5300U that hits over 90C when running cargo compiles. I have changed the thermal paste and it didn't do much.

That's a fair point. I'm assuming that you're not using these devices for development and stuff, maybe just browsing around the internet?

Yeh, I'm not much of a developper, but I did more than browse the web on my old these laptop. Mostly bunch of digital art, including comics. Made a website once, tho using a Hugo template. Some homework, which included some graphing and some math algorithms with stuff like Sci-lab. But tho a shitty laptop was the first computer I've had, I've also had a desktop for a few year, it's way faster and I do most of the "heavy" work on it, the laptop being for the rest when I'm not at home.
