OK. I keep seeing people saying to buy a stand for MBP as they get hot. I did check out the ones at Best Buy which were just running that demo add and they were a bit toast in the back left corner.
Mine is going to live on a glass desk. Its not like it would get hot enough to damage the desk but I am curious about dissipation of heat on different surfaces. Now in my dealing with servers and such heat is dissipated from the drives not only by air flow but the contact with the case through the mounts.
So wouldn't some of these "elevated" stands for MBP and the like actually have them run hotter since the air underneath wouldn't be moving and as such not as good as being in contact with a surface that can absorb heat?
Also, didn't get any bites last time, looking for a good monitor stand I can place over my MBP (it will run closed lid at home with an external kb/ms/monitor)
