[QUOTE="eric, post: 287988, member: 22327"] i think that's splitting hairs to be honest. while it wouldn't be very bright to use a "notebook" with vents and fans on the bottom on a soft surface that might block the vents/fans, but that's what lapdesks are for. i use one most of the time (did all the time with my old HP notebooks and 17" notebook/desktop replacement). my wife even uses just a coffee table book that's large enough to fit the feet of her 15" widescreen HP. obviously these platforms are typically at angles other than parallel to the floor, sometimes actually pretty extreme too. i wouldn't put up with a lid that loose, period.
