Option for 'Lap Friendly' underside.

550 points posted to Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops by kwifler 09/03/07

I'm sure many of you have noticed some burn warnings for notebooks, and some cautions against setting them directly on your laps, but this can be minimized or even prevented.

Just add the option for an underside that uses special materials/gridlines across the bottom of the notebook to act like a radiator and minimize the possibility to trap heat. I am not sure whether this should be a snap-on design or a permanent shell-redesign.

09/17/07		 I'm thinking of a professionally fitted underside with grooves in it all the way around the computer to prevent the fan's airflow from being stopped. Possibly fitting on like those netted hats that service industry workers wear, except different. The idea is for it to be light weight and not block any openings or slide around or be bulky.
