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.

    A laptop stand is relatively inexpensive and effective at allowing proper ventilation. I have used cardboard boxes positioned at strategic locations to allow for proper ventilation.

    You can get a decent laptop stand with a built in fan for $50 or less. The fan isn't required but it does help expel the hot air you'll be pumping out while gaming

    I’ve used a cooling pad while gaming for years. Never let’s me down.

    I use laptop stand with metal mesh and an adjustable angle to allow adequate screen height. It allows adequate intake airflow for the cooling fans underneath.

    I personally use cooling pads for my laptop. I have a cryogen pad designed for 17.3 inch laptops. Only $35.

    I found these on Etsy.  They work great. I did however, hot glue them to my lapdesk to prevent them from sliding.  Actually worked really well, made it super stable.
