In most cases, laptops have heat pipes and heat sinks towards the back. This can happen easier the more back heavy the laptop is. The last thing you want when resting a device worth thousands of dollars on your lap is for it to tip over and fall onto the floor. The word “laptop” literally implies you’ll be using it on your lap. I want to explain the two main reasons why I disagree and why I continue to do it. Some people seem to laugh, thinking this is a stupid test. When I review a laptop, I mention whether or not it can be easily opened with one finger. Is being able to open a laptop with one finger important? I’ll explain why I always test this and think that it’s worth checking when buying a laptop.
