I hate laptops with vents on the bottom. I can't put it on my lap without constantly thinking did my leg obstructed the hole, I can't put it on the bed because the vents will be clogged. The only place where laptops with vents on the bottom works well is the desk.
- gnarbarian 12y agoGotta hand it to apple on this one. They clogged the vents so you don't have to worry about it. Laptop overheats? Must be Intel's fault. This is the reality distortion field.
- chroma 12y agoPlease stop.
- stefantalpalaru 12y agoWho are you to tell somebody else to stop posting in a public forum? No, putting "please" in front does not make your aggression any less impolite.
- gnarbarian 12y agoIt's very passive aggressive but it seemed to work, he said that and 10 minutes later half my comments on this page dropped from +4 to -4.
- stefantalpalaru 12y agoThere are people/bots that will go through your comment history and downvote all your recent comments when you piss off the wrong users.
- gnarbarian 12y agoSorry, people keep replying and I can't help but tease the reality distortion field. Why do you care so much? It's just a laptop, who cares what a bunch of us neckbeards laugh at? Nothing should be beyond reproach here. This is hacker news not daring fireball.
- Kurtz79 12y agoIf you want flame wars and care about upvotes/downvotes, there are plenty of other websites that will oblige. Here posts are supposed to add something to the discussion, not to "tease" or provoke a response.
- gnarbarian 12y agoWhen someone is blatantly exhibiting cognitive dissonance and reasoning has failed to sway them why not tease them a bit? They deserve it.
- dang 12y agoEven if that's true, it degrades the discourse, and the harm that does to the community trumps whatever "teasing" a given user may or may not deserve.

- dzhiurgis 12y agoThe reason I asked is because parent user About says "I use this account for things I can't say: http://paulgraham.com/say.html" http://paulgraham.com/say.html". His previous posts do not confirm the identity, but it does correlate with Paul Graham.
- apetrovic 12y agoIs that "reality distortion field" jab pointed at me? The best laptop in my life is/was my trusty Thinkpad w520. No vents at the bottom, no overheating problems (two previous laptops were HP EliteBooks - a toy computers compared to Lenovo). Now I'm working on MacBook Pro, and yes, it's slicker than w520, but it have problems with heat.
