See the laptop x15 r1 has vents on near the keyboard as well. If you will close ur lid it isnt going to damage ur computer but ur losing the perfomance u could have got with the lid open. if u dont want the screen to be open there is a setting in windows. Press windows key + P then u have multiple options like second screen only which will only display on the second display connected, or other options their names explain them selves.Hope this answers your question
Hello, I would like to connect my Alienware x15 R1 to play on my 75" TV. Preferably with the lid closed and sitting on top of the center to get plenty of air. Is this not recommended or is there any issue with this? I want to be sure there is no damage to the screen or overheating. Thank you
