      The GRiD Compass, “the first laptop,” was made of magnesium.

      When they brought one into space it had to be retrofitted with an external fan, because heat doesn’t rise in zero-G.

      The only issue is if you go full throttle, the section right above the CPU can fry your hand lol.

      Although I only ever reached that temp doing stupid crap like hashing.
