So I'm not really one for gaming laptops, but I have an ASUS ROG gl502. Im a college student and I do a lot of graphic design and gaming, which is why I got a laptop. I'm always on the go.
The laptop is factory as of now and it came with a 5200rpm HDD which confuses me. That's ridiculously low and the HDD struggles to keep up with everything else, which also puts out a lot of heat. I know laptops are designed to run fairly hot, but this particular model runs ridiculously hot during gaming sessions. I got a cooling pad which works fairly well, but it's crazy bulky. I planned on saving some more money and replacing the HDD with a SSD and maybe adding a PCIE SSD. It has easy access to quickly add both. I know it will run faster, but I'm also hoping that helps significantly with the heat problem.
My first question, when adding the SSD and PCIE SSD, should I add both or is one plenty?
Second question, which brand should I get for one or both, and what size?
Third question, will installing one or both of those help my heat problem?
Fourth, what other upgrades are recommended to make this laptop last a while and be reliant on heavy gaming?
Things to remember:
I'm in college so I'm broke. I know a lot of these parts are expensive so I'll have to slowly save.
I have a basic understanding of laptops, so try to keep it ELI5 if possible.
Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the future advice!
