I have rubber feet on my desk so the laptop is never
on a flat (or soft) surface, but raised up a bit
to improve air circulation under it.  I also have
a board I have screwed some cork pieces to, for same
effect when not at my desk.

I can feel the difference in surface temp, which can
only be good.
