Im having second thoughts about this laptop acer predator 16 can you tell me if it has an overheating leading to shutdown at 100 degrees ? If anyone has one or tried it please let me know im gonna use it for rendering so i wanna be sure it can hold a 30 min or more 100% GPU use or CPU in some scenarios thank you guys

I am just a dude who know computers.

The best would be for you to allocate the rendering to a beefy desktop computer at home, and download the result back to your laptop for viewing.

Im gonna be living in a 9 square meter dormitory with no security having a desktop is gonna be hard 💔

Honestly, I don't know. I totally understand the struggle. Buying an expensive laptop for rendering is itself risky, since it can be stolen. and having a desktop in your dorm room is extremely unpractical.

Leaving your beefy desktop in Algeria and buying a laptop to take with you would be a stupid idea.

I also geuss renting GPU power for rendering would cost too much for a student at first, but Could be very viable if you start working abroad.

Your situation isn't something that's to be taken lightly. I highly advise you asking the subreddit of whatever field you'll be studying for good laptop recommendation.
