    “Gaming laptops” are a lie anyway. You can’t generate that much heat in that small of a space without something eventually going wrong, this applies to all of them. They’re all hot and underpowered.

      Yeah, I expect any gaming laptop to have a shorter lifespan, but killing three mobos in the span of 3.5 years shouldn’t happen. Now that I’m older and wiser, I wonder if I had a bad power supply, but that’s something that should have come up on my second repair.
