If you want to cool a MacBook Air more, an actually practical solution is to layer the ‘heatsink’ with (0.5mm) thermal pads to turn the bottom cover into a heat dissipater

All while the chassis becomes even hotter than it already unbearably is. This is something I’ve done to some of my devices. They are untouchable and can no longer be placed on your lap(you know LAPtop) But sure that’s more practical. Jesus Christ

Yea well I don’t remember the last time I used my laptop on my lap. Maybe years… I don’t even have this mod anymore like I said. Jesus Christ?

So to you, turning your chasis into an untouchable source of heat is "more practical" than the incorporation a cooling solution that makes it cooler and allows the device to run better due to less heat. Your metric of more practical is a perfect example of the responses In this thread. Illogical for the sake of it.

Incorporating a cooling solution that doesn’t let you use the keyboard or IO is more practical? Illogical for the sake of it. With my solution only the bottom gets hotter. And you still wouldn’t burn yourself if you touched it.

Did you even watch the video? You call that shit practical?

I’m starting to think you’re lying about having done this yourself
