Due to my current environment not suitable for a laptop, I'm considering putting my laptop upside down (with the top lid closed and placed so that the entire laptop is flipped 180 degrees), so it would be easier to fan out the generated heat, and not get dirt and loose dusts blown into it.
As of now, I'm currently outside at night, camping underneath a large leaf roof. There is nothing but ground and grass underneath the roof, and I'm sitting on it with a laptop on my knees. I'm doing a scouting mission, with permission to use a laptop for surveillance and data monitoring. You know, conscription stuff.
Currently, the laptop is doing a full antivirus scan (well, I like to use it to pass time.). And I was wondering if I can flip the laptop upside-down without harming the internal hard drive.
Got any opinions on this matter? I can take my time, since every hour, me and the rest of my squad change place, and we have to survey the area until approx. 68 more hours, as of now.
Thanks in advance.
