    For cooling purposes, to increase air flow, do you think putting a hockey puck on each cornor under the laptop would be better for the air flow?

    It could work definitely. Might be a tad too high for typing though. But definitely would be a good choice imo.

    I actually muffled a chuckle when clicking this thread. Must be a Flames fan(Kipper = godly) :p

    Anyways, propping it up is a good idea, as it can slightly increase airflow, though you may want to invest in a cooler pad.

    If airflow is restricted any from how high it sits off the desk normally it could help for sure. Still may as well get a cooling pad, it would do everything just that much better.
