In this hot weather, it seems that everyone's laptop overheats and
shuts down without warning unless you put it next to a fan. Or am I
the only one who has noticed this? Or does it only happen with
Toshiba laptops? And do they have to be at least a few months old
before it starts to happen?

I wonder if it could be argued that these laptops, with powerful
processors but inadequate fans, are not fit for their purpose. Has
anyone had a go?

Our Advent laptop doesn't suffer from this.....
You can get bases for your laptop which have extra fans built into them, and
they're powered by the laptops USB socket.....PC World have them, and I've
seen them on ebay too....
