    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.

      Yeah they can be good, but depends on what the pc is being used for. If it’s not running into thermal limits it’s much better off just trying to have decent airflow that won’t suck up too much dust.

      Laptops are usually designed pretty well when it comes to cooling vs. power when placed on a hard surface.
