El habitual and prolonged excess heat It is one of the factors that can most affect the degradation of the initial performance of a laptop, tablet or smartphone, by directly affecting the properties of its vital internal components. Most teams are prepared to resist without problems at high temperatures, but in certain contexts, these can become harmful. Today we wonder if a sticker o vinyl they represent a threat in this sense.
Although in Spain it still does not seem like a very popular custom, I myself have resorted to it and have seen it in others on occasion. The vinyls are perhaps the mildest way to put a protección to a mobile, tablet, laptop or even a game console. Although the surface of the device is covered and personalized with (if we want it) with particular colors and drawings, the lines and the thickness of the terminal are practically intact. However, since the sticker is completely adhered to the case, many of us have ever wondered if this will raise the temperature when using the device. The boys of Windows Central give answer to question.
The "fire" test: a Razer Blade running Doom
Un Razer Blade is easily one of the tools to Gamers more extreme, both in performance and design. They are very powerful machines but the distribution, flow and heat output it is a key element for its proper functioning. For this it has a chassis metallic and different holes that allow the ventilation inside and that are essential to avoid suffocating the equipment.
The test carried out by Windows Central basically consisted of measuring the temperatures before and after placing the vinyls, after two rounds of 20 minutes playing Doom. The result makes it clear that there is no problem in this regard. The temperature varies by area but we do not believe that it is something that is due even to the vinyl and, in any case, it is completely irrelevant in a reference among those of 38 to 46 degrees centigrade.
Conclusion: vinyls can be used without problem
We dare to say that the tests seem quite conclusive, despite the fact that the thermal control of smartphones and tablets are different. However, the sticker does not appear to influence the distribution of the heat through the shell materials, at least in the case of the brand used, Dbrand. Keep in mind that the models of this firm, like those of other quality manufacturers (recommended) such as Slickwraps or DecalGirl, are very fine.
Applications running in the background, the ambient temperature or even the brightness adjustment of the screen, in short, are elements that affects to a much greater extent than a vinyl.
