I know you don't play games, but it's funny. In my mind, you just seem so much like the type I could imagine sitting and playing stuff like this while muttering about strategic options to yourself and stroking the beard you don't have

"Dad games" are a term I've seen being thrown around.

Anywhere that keeps air flow to the fan. The little tabs on the bottom of a laptop help keep it off surfaces to facilitate air flow. A blanket will 'suffocate' it like putting a pillow over someones face, but instead of it dying from asphyxiation, it'll melt electronics. Usually soldering points first.

And those soldering points are almost beyond microscopic. We're talking microns here.

I have no idea what that is but I don't like strategy games. TBH about the only games I've ever played with any sort of interest have been Starflight II, Doom, Doom II and Wing Commander. Oh, and The Bard's Tale.

So, a lap tray or something?

I'll be sitting on my bed using it so yeah, I'm not exactly going to place it on the bed, lie on my tummy and support myself with my elbows with my legs back and in the air like a teenage girl (not exactly like that anyway) but I will be resting it on my lap, so I'm going to need something between it and my junk I would assume. Probably why my other ****ty laptop kept getting so hot.
Or maybe I'm just hot.

There is a likelihood of 1 to the power of 10 Googleplexes - 1 that this is true

Some laptops have vents on the sides. It's just a matter of knowing what works for the type of laptop you have.

A lap tray would work, but I always use a large thin book.

Is the book "How To Stop Your Laptop Overheating"??

Seriously, why a thin one? Does it matter?

Which one is this? I only have experience with 5.

A thin book is just easier to work with, but it doesn't matter as long as it keeps air flow under the laptop if it's the kind with vents under it.

All this talk is making me light headed. I think I oughta lie down.
