Cooling Pads for Laptops
kitamesume:
^ i was saying laptops can be stationary for as long as you want it to, plus it benefits itself by being stationary because you're limiting the possibilities of mechanical failure of the laptop, to be precise it's the HDD's platter getting scratched by the heads while spinning.
tilting them shouldn't be a problem, well most of the time. as i've mentioned, theres a couple of desktops small enough to be mounted at the back of the LCD, these things tends to be tilted to various angles depending on the LCD, and these things are stuck mounted for months and aren't breaking down.
and as you can see, english is not my forte, well on general, i suck at grammar on any language.
oh and i just got the wrong thoughts from the title just now, an image of a cooling pad used for fevers attached onto a laptop popped into my head.

thanks that was much easier to understand, so just avoid moving it around a lot. and yea, i be extremely careful with my hardrive because i'd probably shoot myself if i lost all the anime on that. your imagination is extremely random lol

back it up then
If data is important to you, keeping it on a laptop is the most stupid thing you can do with it. Hard drives die all the time and yours could die in the next week with no signs before hand.

Laptop harddrives lack the mass of their 3.5" counterparts so they're actually pretty resistant to damage when in motion. Last week, my harddrive docking station fell slipped off the table with the 2.5" harddrive in it, and landed on the harddrive onto a tile floor. Did a full test on it, no problem.
My laptop has a cooling pad but the fan is unplugged. All it does is elevate it and give the underside room to breathe. Every few months (or when i notice the idle temps going really high), i unscrew the bottom plate and hit the exhaust port a blast of compressed air (insert hose inside fan grill, dust goes flying out the big hole at the bottom). You won't believe how much dust accumulates in there.

Did you just use resistant to damage and hard drive in the same sentence? You just got lucky
