Hi Milos, I am using a small Toshiba ultra portable. When I have to use it for an extended period of time, I notice that it does get warm. I don't worry about this until I hear the fans constantly running.
At Staples and many other places they have a small laptop desk that sits on your lap. It has bean bags under it that allow it to comfortably sit on your lap. These are somewhat weighted which helps my laptop not move around to much as I am typing. There are vents on the top of this unit which allow my laptop to breathe. Mine also has fans in it that cool my laptop. It uses a USB cable to plug in to my laptop for power. I don't use these fans when I am on the move, only at home when I am plugged in to home power because I have noticed that it does put a slight drain on the battery. Take care, Russ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Milos Przic Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 1:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Blind-Computing] Laptop environment Hi all, Recently there was a message warning us that of the consequences of overheating the laptop having it on the bed. As I knew it and it was not something new for me, I still want to ask some similar questions. Can laptop be dammaged if in the constant moving while active? For example, in a car that passes many high curves. Next, if I have to use my laptop outside and I have to expose it on the sun as in a certain moment it is not possible to protect it, what parts of the laptop are most resistible to the sun? So if I have to expose it, how to do that with minimal risk? Thanks to all, and best regards!
