Wet surfaces? I have a T14 Lenovo and those vents suck for resting on a bed or other fabric surfaces.

Wet surfaces? I have a T14 Lenovo and those vents suck for resting on a bed or other fabric surfaces.
- vladvasiliu 3y agoI have an HP EliteBook 845 G8, with bottom vents for taking in air, that is then sent out the back towards the display hinge. It's also one of those uselessly thin laptops with a ridiculously small heatsink. It has a Ryzen 5650U (6-core zen3), no dedicated GPU. 99% of the time I can't hear the fan, even when it's around 25-26 ºC (78 F) in the room and I use it on my bed. The case is warm, especially towards the hinge (where the CPU is) but to uncomfortably so. The palm side, where the battery is, is usually rather cool to the touch. I do have the bios configured to have the fan on at all times when plugged in, so there's no heat build-up that requires a burst of fan speed to evacuate from time to time. The other 1% it's probably attempting to lift off, but that only happens when compiling for a long time or using webex with video. One difference with Lenovo and Dell, though I don't know how much it helps, is that the case is metal.
