And the lid is not open because of preventing it sleeping, but rather to cool it down

But it looks like it's sitting on carpet which would definitely block the vents

Truee, didn't see that. But generally just wanted to add to the vibe of these laptop hosters

I remember it being a bit trendy to turn old laptops into desktops by just unplugging the display and plugging peripherals into them, but people were finding that the keyboard actually was designed as another heat escape, so running them with the lids closed wasn't so great!
