I'm gonna spend the next stimulus check on an Acer Nitro 50 gaming desktop, which is like five of those suckers stabled together ?

Please don't tell me it's NES games that were being sold for $0.50 each at garage sales ten years ago but are now worth $50 each.

Best Buy dropped the price on the laptop $30 today, the day after I bought it, so I just invoked Best Buy's low price guarantee and got $32.47 refunded to my credit card!! ???

Yeah, you have to give it a little bit before things get "interesting". It's worth it, though, at least in my opinion.

What is a "nerd"? I see that word tossed around a lot here. It is often applied to myself and Fake anon, which leads me to believe it means "manly" or "cool".

The only problem I have so far is that if I game in bed with the laptop on my stomach, the hot exhaust from the fans burns the back of my right hand (I have the laptop on my stomach and my hands holding the controller behind the screen). I enjoy the pain though because it's a reminder of how powerful the combination of the i5-9300h and GTX 1650 is. This is serious, desktop-class gaming performance.
The severity of this depends on the game. Like Brutal Doom is nothing but on GTA V maxed out you could roast marshmallows at the back of the laptop. It's been a few years since I had a laptop with fans at all. My last laptop was the Asus E203MA which never got hot because it just had a little Intel Celeron N4000 at 1.10 GHz. Of course it fucking sucked at everything and the battery lost almost half its capacity in one year.
Battery life is surprisingly not bad at about 5 hours of word processing/web browsing. I haven't tried gaming on the battery because that would just be stupid. The keyboard is really nice to type on but I think the red outlining of the WASD and arrow keys looks kind of gay and they should make one without that.

I don't think you understand. The laptop itself does not get hot. It is the hot air being blown out the back that burns my hand. The laptop doesn't get hot because it transfers the heat generated by the CPU and GPU to the air, which is exhausted out the back of the laptop, which is what burns my hand. Cool air is sucked into the laptop from the bottom, then passed over the heatsink where the air becomes hot, taking heat out of the heatsink, and then the hot air is blown out the back. At no point does the body of the laptop get hot, or even warm to the touch.
What I am describing is a cooling system working properly. If your laptop is clean and was designed properly, a cooling pad will do nothing.
In 2008 I had a Toshiba Satellite A205 that actually did get hot. Running a game, it would get so hot that it would actually shut the laptop off. That would have benefited from a laptop cooling pad. The problem was the laptop cooling fan was not putting enough heat into the air. The cooling system was under-designed for the amount of heat the laptop generated and it could not transfer enough heat to the air.
If you "need" a laptop cooling pad, ask yourself why. The most likely cause is your heatsink and fans are clogged with dust and not working properly. Only a very badly designed laptop (which the Toshiba was - they don't even make laptops anymore which speaks volumes) would "need" a cooling pad.

Yeah i had a similar HP laptop years ago. A lot of fucking around to strip the OS to the bare minimum fixed the issues but when i got it it would overheat and bluescreen within a few minutes of usage.

Did you take it apart and clean it good? It's actually not that hard on most laptops to pop the bottom shell off and get at the fan. I know some people who are scared to death to open their computers up. Taking things apart is fun though and a learning process. You learn a lot about something by taking it apart. Sometimes you see some really elegant things. A few days ago I was bored so I took my Xbox controller apart (I don't have an Xbox I just use the controller on my computer) and I was surprised to see that the buttons have little pegs on the underside which fit into slots and these are designed such that you cannot put the wrong button in the wrong place on the controller, nor upside down. That was pretty cool! I never would have seen that if I didn't take it apart.

I believe so! I had to open it up to put more ram in anyway. I just had so much fun stripping the hell out of XP and finding portable versions of all the software i normally used. It was my first laptop and it was just incredibly satisfying taking this basically unusable device and making it my super-functional bitch for the next several years.
That is very cool about the xbox controller buttons, too!
I hate that laptops these days are so much more difficult to fuck with hardware-wise. Especially those 2-in-1 tablet PCs.
