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?

    The MacBook Air I just bought would disagree :)

    I think these can officially be called laptops again, because they are cooled passively and you can absolutely use them on your lap.

      They are ergonomicly wrong on your lap. They can be used there but they are best used on an airplane tray. (Still ergonomicly wrong, but given the constraints the best we can do)
