I have a special table with a fan shaped cut out in the center that allows for the laptop to breath...I haven't used it in over a year so I forgot... the top actually lifts and has a metal bar that allows me to sit it to any angle I want. That might do the trick. We shall see. Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it. Of course this is also the first time, I am actually writing with it in my lap and I'm not having any problems but I know from experience that sitting like this will kill both my laptop and my back.
