Keeping Laptops Open on a Stand – Good Idea?

Hi everyone,

I have a laptop stand where, until now, I’ve been keeping my laptops with the lids closed. I recently read that this isn’t advisable due to heat buildup, so my solution is to keep them open instead.

What do you think? Is this a better approach?

P.S. Don’t mind the cable mess—I’ll sort it out little by little! Hahaha
