Wow that's an amazing amount of dust. I think that's the most I have seen in a computer and my only source of laptop used to be old things from recycling centers

    Could be explained by the fact that my favorite position to program is on my bed, like a teenage girl from a mediocre 2000's movie writing in her diary. The laptop fans get a taste of all that good good bed sheet fiber.

    I use mine on a sofa (for gaming, even!), but I get around the issue a bit by having a pad under the laptop. It's literally just a hard plastic board with a beanbag attached underneath, I think I got it from IKEA. It isolates the laptop a bit from dust and improves airflow + lets it heat up without burning my knees + the one I have is just large enough that I can also use my wireless mouse on it when I push my laptop to the left.
