    In the power settings, you probably have the maximum processor performance set (selected power scheme: Always On). As a result, the processor works at maximum speed, quickly depletes the batteries and just needs cooling with a fan. It goes on all the time (with small interruptions) to prevent overheating of the processor.

    And on the desk, the situation can worsen because there is no adequate ventilation under the laptop (exchange of warm air for cool air). I solved this problem by buying a cooling stand and changing the power settings to: portable / laptop

    Well, your settings are good. There may also be such reasons:

    1. If it is an Acer laptop, you can have the option of cooling the processor all the time in the Acer PM settings

    2. The graphics card heats up and the heat also reaches the CPU turning on the fan. You can lower its performance, thus reducing the heat generation.

    As a good solution, I recommend a laptop cooling stand. It is very quiet, light and efficient.

    PS You can also check if the situation will repeat itself when you leave a 3-4 cm gap between the laptop and the desk by placing the back of the laptop, for example on a book.

    It is well known that the laptop heats up mercilessly (regardless of the type of processor). However, it is also known that the most heating elements are the processor, graphics card, wi-fi card and memory. To prevent this, you can either reduce the efficiency of computer components so that they consume less electricity and heat less at the same time, or use something, it will lose the temperature in a faster and quieter way ... As you can see what I said - raising the laptop or increasing the access of "fresh", cool air to the bottom of the housing gives the desired effects.

    As for the warranty, I think that it makes no sense to send the computer because most likely it does not state anything and additionally may charge you with shipping costs and expertise that can amount to several hundred zlotys (!!). I would recommend a cheaper solution - buying a cooling stand, eg CoolerMaster CoolPad or Vantec LapCool 2 or 3.

    First of all, the services are always charged with costs in the event of not finding a defect (or for the first time free of charge).

    As for turning off disks, the matter is rather poor - the more times it will be turned off and on, the shorter its life will be. Better to roll around and use a little electricity than to be so tired.

    As for the stand, you can already buy Vantec LapCool 3 for PLN 75 with free shipping - at least I bought it like that :D

    PS I currently have the "portable / laptop" option and turn off any disabling of the monitor, disks, etc. I save the disk, the fluorescent lamp and that most of the time it runs on electricity from the socket, it is not a problem.

    Of course I can - contact me on priva and I will give you the contact details.

    As for photos, it will be hard because the laptop is connected to 50 different devices and to disconnect them I would have to lose an hour :P Therefore, I enclose 1 photo from the website. The other two are my photos of the box (front + back) which I managed to find.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user experiencing constant fan operation on a laptop equipped with a Centrino 1.4M processor, particularly when placed on a desk versus on their knees. Responses suggest that the fan's behavior may be linked to power settings, specifically the "Always On" scheme, which keeps the processor at maximum performance, leading to increased heat and fan activation. Recommendations include adjusting power settings to "Portable/Laptop," using a cooling stand to enhance airflow, and ensuring adequate ventilation by elevating the laptop. Users also discuss the implications of energy-saving settings, such as turning off hard drives and suspending the system, and the potential impact on component longevity. The consensus is that while the fan's operation is typical under certain conditions, a cooling solution may improve performance and reduce noise.
