Hello there all!

 

I have bought an EliteBook 850 G8, and the only way out for the heat seems to be downward, not sideways like my previous laptops. Is there something special I should know about this, like not block underneath and so on, and can I still use a cooling pad, or would the fans blow the- heat back into the laptop? Is there a way to cool my laptop even beter?

 

It might come across as a weird or even "less wise" question, but I always used my laptops with a cooling pad from Targus, mostly without turning on the fans, save for the most demanding tasks or the hotter moments of summer. I would just like the use the laptop as good as possible.

 

Many thanks in advice!
