Why do most gaming laptops have vents on the bottom? - eviltoast

If you’re using the laptop as intended (i.e., on your lap), wouldn’t those be almost entirely blocked?

    Gaming laptops aren’t really intended to be used on your lap (no place to put and use a mouse), at least not while you’re gaming.

    For the cooling to work you need an air intake and exhaust. The intake is most commonly at the bottom because it’s the closest to your CPU which requires fresh and cool air. The exhaust is either at the back or the sides.
