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?

    It doesn’t, the assumption is that users will not use them directly on their laps for heavy loads.

    There isn’t much they can do. There isn’t enough room on the sides to vent all of that heat. This is the tradeoff you make when you ask for 200 watts of performance in a laptop form factor.
