Use 2021 Blade 14 with closing lid | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
Hello,



I'm new to Razer family and I was a macbook user for 10 years. When connecting to external monitor, I always close my macbook and put it vertically. Kind like this Amazon.com: Twelve South BookArc for MacBook | Space-Saving Vertical Desktop Stand for Apple notebooks (Space Grey) Newest Version : Electronics.



I wonder if I can do the same with the blade 14. Would it affect its ventilation while gaming? thanks.
On desktop apps or media consumption etc light tasks okay not on heavy tasks like gaming, it use also keyboard space for cooling so closing the lid while gaming will add extra temperature and also put heat to the screen which aren’t great for your device. MacBook main output is under the screen (some model like pro are under the speaker) so it won’t disturb the heat output, most gaming laptops isn’t great when using it on clamshell for cooling reason.
