Instead of placing your laptop directly on a rug or carpet, use a hard, flat surface that allows proper airflow.
Better options:
• Desk or table — best option for regular use.
• Hard, flat board/tray — useful if you’re sitting on the floor or bed.
• Laptop stand — raises the laptop and improves ventilation.
• Cooling pad — especially useful for gaming or heavy workloads.
• Lap desk — convenient when using your laptop on a sofa or bed.
Avoid: placing the laptop directly on carpets, rugs, beds, blankets, or pillows because they can block the air vents, causing overheating, reduced performance, and potentially shortened component lifespan.
For a simple everyday solution: get a laptop stand or use a hard wooden/plastic board underneath it.
Remember, precautions are cheaper and safer than parts replacement.
