Laptop Cooling Hack That Should Already Exist 😤

Discussion

Hear me out 👇
Laptops heat up fast, especially when gaming, editing, or running heavy code — and most of us don’t carry a cooling pad everywhere.

So why not add a small, retractable clip mechanism underneath the laptop — like a foldable leg — that lifts the base slightly and allows air to flow better underneath?

  • It could be built into the chassis.

  • Won’t need extra accessories.

  • Improves thermals without affecting portability.

  • Bonus: also improves typing angle!

I'm surprised this isn't already a thing in budget or mid-range laptops. What do you all think? Would this work? Has any brand done this yet?
