piperman Jun 22nd, 2012, 08:26 PM It looks like there are air intakes (3 on each side?) of this new design. I sometimes use my laptop in a dusty environment, so I'm wondering if it would be OK to cover these intakes with (insert best material here) a filter.

Open the back and clean regularly. IllusionX Jun 22nd, 2012, 11:20 PM i would blow air in exhaust and vacuum the intakes regularly... piperman Jun 23rd, 2012, 11:14 AM I've read all at Dan's Data - Full Index (http://www.dansdata.com/altindex.html#cooling) and know a bit about fluid dynamics. But my experience is with, somewhat, uh, "larger volumes", so the smaller space movement of cooling air inside a laptop is new to me.
