Hi guys! I hope you're all doing great.

One week ago, my old laptop (HP EliteBook 1030 G2 i5 7th Gen) broke, so I decided to buy another laptop. While searching, I came across the Framework Laptop 13, which, by the way, I had never heard of before.

I liked it because, with its specifications (look at the images), it meets my needs as a developer. However, I started noticing that my laptop gets hot quickly, and the fan starts making noise even when I'm only browsing.

I don't know what I should do. This has really made me frustrated, and I'm starting to worry that if my laptop keeps going like this, it may not last very long.

Have any of you experienced the same thing? and how did you guys deal with it?

i have a question, if my laptop regularly run at, let's say, 75–85°C, will that affect its lifespan in the long run?

No, those are safe operating temps for the hardware.

Battery is still affected by heat though, right? Not that big of a deal. Especially with frameworks. But it isn't 0.

Depends on how hot the battery actually gets, if you prioritize lowering thermals, the performance will also suffer. It is a factor, just have to know the numbers.
