If you want to cool a MacBook Air more, an actually practical solution is to layer the ‘heatsink’ with (0.5mm) thermal pads to turn the bottom cover into a heat dissipater

All while the chassis becomes even hotter than it already unbearably is. This is something I’ve done to some of my devices. They are untouchable and can no longer be placed on your lap(you know LAPtop) But sure that’s more practical. Jesus Christ

Apple calls these devices portable computers, and doesn’t recommend them to be on your lap. They may have been used on laps a while ago when they comfortably worked on top of people’s legs with the help of the large sturdy bases that they used to have, but most portables are now too thin for that purpose. Aren’t they usually called Notebooks these days, like in NotebookCheck?
