The fans and ventilation holes are positioned on the bottom of the device, as with most laptops, as well as the HDD and other components making heat. If these items are all positioned on the bottom, and since I never touch my laptop (it's used like a desktop) why not turn it upside down? This way the ventilation holes would get a far more direct access to the outside air. Also the natural circulation of any house will draw drafts that will move the hot air from the other components such as heat sinks etc and move them away.
However, there are one or two minor issues I have found with this design, 1. The fan holes would get exposed to far more dust, however with regular cleaning, dust filters or better yet, positioning the device vertically ( so the holes face outwards ) could eliminate this issue 2. Would being upside down place pressure or stress on other components.
This idea seems more effective than placing a prop underneath, as this allows even faster air exchange. I appreciate your ideas and thoughts :)

My first reaction would be to point out that all the internal air flow was engineered under the assumption that the laptop would be right side up. My second reaction would be to point out that htis is not a good question for Superuser.com since the answers will tend to be opinion driven and lead to a long discussion. – EBGreen – 2016-06-27T15:07:55.750
The cooling system design varies greatly. There is no universally "good" position. – Daniel B – 2016-06-27T15:49:30.163
