Fanning Lap!

This should be one of the most important factors people do consider when they buy Notebooks, which can't be otherwise termed as LapTop. Ofcourse, my previous topic made me write this topic.
So, what is the factor? Its not the configs & specs of the system. Its infact one of those aspects like the weight of the system. This is the FAN placement in the system. Ppl just keep on wondering why Dell, Toshiba, HP, Compaq & still some more brands make this inlet Fan to be in the bottom of the Notebook. Me too!
Well, I know all those reasons like, if the fan can be kept in the sides, then the book will become thick instead of becoming more & more thin. Or they may have to start using 2 smaller fans in the sides so that the spread of ventilation is balanced for the whole system. So, the fan is kept in the place where the manufacturers can find a place. No more importance for ergonomics! One of the most widely used product is a laptop and is no more user friendly. If you keep the notebook on ur lap inspite of knowing that its gonna get heated up, then u r taking the risk of getting burnt. Manufacturers r redy to make this tradeoff when selling their notebooks (not laptops).
This has become more of a concern when all those Desktop PC configs are put into a notebook like the P4. It just heats up the whole system like anything with very less help from the fan. What is the other reason that the fan fail in these? I can accept a fan kept in the bottom of the system but can't accept that it is placed in one corner which is obviously gonna be hindered by the lap - I mean in one of those corners instead of the center. Can a fan kept in the bottom center help? It can be much better than the case of being in a corner. In most cases when people wear the 2 legged pants, the bottom center is gonna have more open space. Also, the air is gonna be spread for the whole system evenly. Well, I hope the manufacturers start making better tradeoffs instead of hurting the customers physically.
Meanwhile, wazzup with this new Dell Gaming System XPS M1710. Is this hot, I mean literally?
