People do that?? Puffy fabrics?? Big sweaters?? BLANKET??? You are kidding me right?? BLANKET???
My laptop travels with me in my backpack without a sleeve or any fancy bits. Laptop goes into the backpack (its one of those Targus jobs) naked, gets snuggled up in the velcro bits and comes out naked.
When not in back back, its usually on a flat surface, with an unused hard spectacles case (lined top and bottom with a thin rubber mat) propping up the bottom back end, so that the laptop sits at an incline allowing for air flow.
In the meanwhile, I powered down, unplugged and then took a can of compressed air at all the orifices that would take a blast of high-speed arctic air. Did a clean up and realised that the colour of the laptop was actually silver gray and not black!!!
Next downloaded and installed SpeedFan 4.29. Allows for automatic control of fan speed based on the temperatures SpeedFan records for the HD, CPU etc. It does seem a little bit cooler than before, but I'll need to keep is running for a bit to really see if it does make a difference.
But BLANKETS????? Naaaah. You're just pulling my leg, aintchya?!!!
