Low Tech Laptop Protection
This is one of those simple things that could save your laptop from an early death … Sometime pretty shortly after I got my PowerBook, I realized that it got Really Hot on the bottom. Heat is bad for laptops.
My super low-tech solution for whenever I go to cafes or somewhere else where I’m not using my trusty iCurve? I use those little plastic caps that ship with the video adapter cables. You know.. the ones they put on the ends to keep dust out. Don’t throw them away! I just put one on either side under my laptop (by the hinge). It’s just enough for some airflow, and gives me a little angle that’s better for typing. Simple. Done and done!
