Laptop suggestions
Hi all, I have been in the market looking for a laptop to have mostly my sims 3, 2, possibly 4 onto it. I may also get stardew valley in the future. I've tried looking at recent threads for ideas b...

No, I was referring to MSI laptops, but again, not all of them; some of the high-end ones run cooler and quieter. This is not a brand-specific problem but rather one that's almost universal across manufacturers. For example, the Asus TUF laptops in the last couple of generations can run quite hot and somewhat loud, but the Zephyrus G14 laptops are much cooler and quieter. They're also more expensive. That's a common theme: the cheapest models don't always have the best cooling, but pay a bit more and you might get better results.
In general, laptops with AMD processors also run cooler than those with Intel CPUs. This is just because AMD's current laptop CPUs generate a lot less heat than their Intel equivalents, so if a manufacturer applies the same cooling apparatus to both, the AMD laptop will stay cooler, and its fans won't need to spin as fast and will therefore make less noise.
The best cooling I've seen in gaming laptops priced at the entry level (more or less) is in the Lenovo Legion series. The newer Legions are more expensive, but options with a 1660 ti can often be under $1000 U.S. This is another good example of the difference in cooling: the cheaper Lenovo Ideapads tend to run hotter and get less performance out of the same hardware.
