Lap Dogs and Laptops - not a good combination!
Saturday, February 6th, 2010Laptops are designed to have good airflow when you place them on a desk and use them. When you sit down on a bed or chair and use a laptop on your lap, the airflow is greatly diminished. On the bottom of your laptop, you will see four feet, one at each corner, these are designed to sit on a level surface and allow good airflow.
If you have a friendly Lap Dog, then not only is your laptop getting restricted airflow from the bottom, it is also smothered on the top. The other issue is that you cannot use the keyboard!
Laptops that overheat will eventually crash or shutdown without warning and a serious overheating problem could cause irreversable damage.
