Absolutely, I had an overheating issue with a new laptop and a cooling pad fixed it.

Definitely consider a cooler. Some can be noisy but they really help with longevity.

A cooling pad is a must. Mine overheats so quickly without one.

Kids today get amazing tech so young. I didn’t even have a basic phone until I was much older.

Remember the panic when the landline rang and you were online? The struggle was real.

Actually, if you were online, the caller would just get a busy signal back in the day.

That must have been in the US. In the UK, the phone could ring and disrupt the connection.

I’m from the UK and that never happened in my experience. Maybe it depended on the modem?

Diablo 2 was the real addiction back then!

For a 10-year-old, that’s amazing. Consider getting a fan base, upgrading to 16GB RAM, and adding a 2TB SSD.

I was a teenager when I got my first PC. It felt like a big deal back then.

I was 22 when I got my first gaming laptop.

That’s awesome! I remember upgrading my old PC for the first time. It felt so empowering.

I didn’t even have a phone until I was 18. It was tough not being able to call for help when out and about.

My dad got us a Tandy 1000 back in the day.

My first PC was a hand-me-down Pentium 1. I was so excited when I found out I could play Sims on it.

All I had was a Game Color back then.

I didn’t even have Tetris in my day.
