    Can’t you just disable sleep on close?

    Most modern laptops have their air intake in the keyboard, which would cause them to overheat on a matter of minutes.

    Edit: I may have been confidently incorrect here. I know I’ve seen this done before, but I guess it’s not common like I thought

      Most? With the amount of people running laptop docked I would say that is not the case for most business laptops for sure.

        I really don’t think it’s a thing, or maybe just for some high end gaming laptops? Which, yeah, most things on expensive gaming laptops don’t actually make sense. They just throw shit on there to justify prices

      Do you have an example?

      I tried to find something, but the only mention was five years old saying Alienware might try it.

      It sounds stupid but with people using laptops on beds I could see the idea behind it.

      If they increased the size of those little rubber feet to keep the screen and keyboard separate, then that would completely solve the issue.

      I want to see if no one’s thought of that yet since it seemed so obvious, but I just can’t find any real example of keyboard cold air intakes. Are you talking about actual vents? Going between the keys may just be an urban legend from what I’m seeing.
