Utterly pointless thread. Drivel. Change your power settings so that you can close the screen and have the machine "do nothing".
Is this the level of content that is deemed worthy these days? Literally a non-story.
You are expecting the people who rely this heavily on AI to know how to actually use a computer?
The story here isn't actually about the laptops, it's about the people addicted to the AI use.
If the heat vents are above the keyboard the heat will go directly on the screen. I had a laptop screen stop working due to this.
Seems like an incredibly stupid design that is easily remedied.
Yeah, somehow I doubt this is the reason they're doing it
It's an ad. You were reading an ad.
My gaming laptop emits a ton of heat in the chassis around the keyboard. Keeping it closed while it's running would likely be a very bad idea.
If they happen to be running any sort of models that are local to the machine that could be quite haphazard.
