Laptop temps too hot while running Photoshop? Should I be worried?

7 years 5 months ago #504762 by C.C.
I have a Macbook that every time I run Photoshop, the laptop get's super warm.  Should I need to worry about this?  Aside from it being annoyingly warm on my lap, is there anything I can do to cool this?

How much RAM you have in the machine?

Get one of those lap fans that go under the machine.

Any increase to ventilation you can make should help in cooling down your system. I wouldn't worry too much; by nature Photoshop is a program that takes a lot of energy to run, which is likely what's causing the "warm" feeling.

My Surface runs warm often.  I have a fan set up that goes under it when in use.

Laptops are going to run warmer period.  They don't have the cooling that other machines have.

Targus makes a few that work great.

I wouldn't be worried or concerned, but make sure you monitor the situation. If it's too hot to touch, there could definitely be something obstructing the internal ventilation

Pretty normal, run a good set of fans under it and you'll be fine.
