Computers do produce heat. However, they avoid actually absorbing it because to do so would make their temperatures rise which would destroy many of their electronic components. Rather they have fans and cooling fins which serve to _dissipate_ heat to the surrounding air. The fans move air past components, especially the CPU (central processing unit) and power supply, that produce most of the heat. The cooling fins provide large surface areas so that heat can move from metal to surrounding air most readily.
For pictures of the cooling fins used with CPUs search images.Google.com for cpu cooling fins.

How do soil and water absorb and release heat?
about how do soil and water compare in their ability to absorb and release heat
How does sand soil rock absorb heat?
I believe its because of the color, since sand can be a brownish color, the color would absorb the heat from the sun. BUT, if the color was light, like white, it wouldn't absorb as much heat.
What do refrigerators use to absorb heat and lower the temperature of the food inside?
FREON. Freon is now illegal because it damages the Earth's ozone layer. The replacement refrigerant is the inert gas tetrafluoroethane commonly called R134a. Also note that the refrigerator does not"absorb" the heat. It is transferred from inside the compartment to outside the compartment. It does this by the use of two heat exchangers. One transfers the heat from the inside to the refrigerant and the second transfers the heat from the refrigerant to the outside.
A substance can absorb heat energy by the process of?
There are three methods by which substances absorb heat. These are conduction, or heat transfer through contact, convection, or heat transfer through fluid motion, and radiation, or heat transfer through electromagnetic radiation.
Why are computers considered to be an environmental hazard?
Most directly, computers are environmental hazards because they use up electricity. Electricity comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which produce carbon dioxide in the process. Computers also produce heat when used, and these heat contribute to global warming. Imagine the world's population using computers and the heat generated from them. Wavebands produced might also damage the ecology.
Do flowers absorb heat?
Flowers use their epicalyx and calyx to absorb sunlight.
How computers deals with heat?
They use a heat sink
What is the purpose of a heat sink in a computer?
Heat sinks are very important components in computers. The purpose of heat sinks in computers is to keep the computer from overheating. The heat sink removes heat from the processor, keeping the processor cool.
Which surfaces absorb heat?
All surfaces absorb some heat.
Do black objects absorb heat?
They absorb light which is converted into heat energy
Can a sponge absorb heat?
A sponge definitely does have the ability to absorb heat. Sponges absorb heat as well as many other things like water.
Do flowers absorb?
no i don't thimg they absorb heat
Would material absorb more heat?
If there was more heat to absorb than was already in the material.
What are the common use of energy?
Light, heat, sound, cooking, transport, use of computers and televisions.
How does a conductor absorb heat?
A conductor does not absorb heat, it conducts heat so that the heat is evenly dispersed. It seems like it absorbs heat but it transfers heat to somewhere else.
Does aluminum foil absorb heat?
People say it doesnt absorb heat because when the light points at the foil it bounces back.Also some people say it does absorb heat,but the heat cools down fast
Why is alcohol used to absorb heat?
Alcohol does not absorb heat. It is used, because it evaporates quickly, thus drawing heat away.
