I recently bought a new laptop, because my computer stinks. My question is, if I run Guild Wars on my new laptop, would I screw my new laptop? Shouldnt I do it? if it helps my laptop is a EasyNote TJ61

screw up your laptop by playing games? no, unless you try to play in bed or other places that would block off the heat intake/exhaust. or in other words, if you can properly ventilate your laptop, playing games won't damage it.

No, you won't screw it up.

Not a bad laptop for a HP - if you got the same package, you'll want to uninstall all the trial crap that comes with it - in particular the 90-day trial of Norton.

I don't like the sound of that "Magic Desktop" either...

Agreed, Norton is horrible.
The problem with HP is they only include a trial version of Microsoft Office.

As Moriz said, keep you laptop ventilated. Laptops can produce a lot of heat when gaming, so don't play in a place that your vents are obstructed.

Get a notebook fan to keep it cool. Otherwise should be ok.

Guys, thank you for the responds Maybe this sounds stupid but can't i just put a ventilator and aim it on my laptop, or is this a stupid idea that'll never work?

meh, anything that gets airflow over the parts that generate the most heat will do.

obviously if you're going to be taking it around, lugging a fan around is a little inconvenient, which is why there's coolers designed to fit on the bottom of the laptop. but if you're just staying at home, go nuts.
