Ensuring proper ventilation

Aaronn K.

What do you guys use, or have used to allow for proper ventilation while using your laptop, well like a laptop. 

Personally, I’ve used books, a thick cutting board, and even the Settlers of Catan box. I think the Catan set might be my favorite to use as it’s thick enough so the hot ventilation isn’t blowing directly on me.

Probably not the recommendation for ventilation but I sure am comfortable while gaming.

  • I Use 4 small wooden blocks on the corners of laptop that raise it couple inches from desk. My Legion laptop pulls air from the bottom and vents hot air out the sides so this does help air flow. I actually tested it with and without and it is a couple degrees cooler on average. I have thought about getting a cooling pad but reviews are so mixed on retail websites. I normally don't buy accessories for my tech unless reviews are very positive. I think with cooling pads certain factors like location of air input and output, angle, and fan locations determine how well they work but I am not really sure. I have friends that highly recommend them and others who say they are a waste of money. If I had more money to spend when I got my laptop I would have gotten a model with liquid cooling.
