Is putting my Alienware 15 R4 on the bed okay? Can it still intake air for cooling? If yes where will it come in?
The air intakes are on the bottom cover. If you place it on a bed where the bed covers block the intakes, the system can overheat. I would suggest either a cooling pad or simply a firm surface that the laptop can rest on top of.
I agree with the reply above. Search “lap desk” on Amazon for some tray options that you might like. Some have a beanbag underside so they rest comfortably in your lap.
