heat damage

Certainly that keeps laptops cool enough to actually be used in your lap is a good thing, but there is just one little thing bugging me. What will all that heat in close proximity to the LCD do the the screen?

I'm sure plenty of you guys have used laptops with the lids closed hooked up to external monitors, so I'm sure you're familiar with what happens to the parts of the screen that are in closest proximity to the bits of the machine that get the hottest.

re: HEAT DAMAGE

Whilst I agree I would worry about heat damage I don't see this as a problem with this form of cooling, the heat is evenly dissipated over the entire surface of the carbon/copper/aluminium rather than concentrated in hot spots that would cause damage.
