    People arguing about lid closing when clearly the biggest sin is a laptop on a carpet. Please put a hard surface under to stop it hoovering up all dust and particles possible and having appalling airflow

      A hard surface is a start, but a cooler stand is … cooler. Best give it a separate power source rather than plug it into the laptop, too? Just guessing.

      I have mine upside down so lid on ground, fan facing upwards but if I had it the correct way up wouldn’t the fans be blowing outward/down?

        All laptops I have used suck air in from the base and blow it out the side/back. I like your upside down solution.

        Your intake on the side would still be close to the carpet. Also outward and down would build up heat still
