There are some solutions that other manufacturers are exploring when it comes to cooling gaming laptops however current prototypes are a bit off. My current favorite solution to this is the new ASUS ProArt and ASUS Mothership (not released). The ProArt is a studio laptop however it is based off the Mothership. The concept is that all the hardware and cooling are on the lid so that it is facing the air and not facing the desk. My recommendations for mitigating heat from the laptop1.) Lower the ambient temperature in the room if possible2.) Use a stand or cooling pad to allow a lot of extra space for air intake from the bottom of the laptop3.) Underclocking the processor/GPU. This will lower performance but will also lower the heat4.) Avoid using it on your lap
