Well, anyone that wears shorts and sandals and is over 20, deserves it.

Maybe sit on a table? I use mine in a country that frequently gets 38-40 oC, and in a country that is constantly Lousiana-summer level heat and humidity (Singapore) and never had much of a problem.
Or one could use any kind of towel or pad below their laptop.
Kind of reminds me of the Louis CK routine about people complaining about trivial things (e.g. the food) while flying, sitting on a chair in the sky, across thousands of miles, in a few hours (something that just 3-4 generations ago took days or even months, discomfort and a few deaths along the way).
We now have undreamt-of power in our PCs or even mobile phones (power which used to take a device as big as a house and with its own cooling infrastructure), and we complain for them being uncomfortamble to have on our bare laps...
"lap"tops.

Also "laptop" is an american term. The rest of the world calls them something closer to "portable".
Because otherwise the polish term is "komputer przenośny" (portable, movable, etc computer).
He only said "shorts". You know, adults can wear shorts as well.
To decry shorts as juvenile is sympotmatic of simple minded attitudes that lead to people in warm climates spending the hottest part of the day wearing full suits in fully glazed boxes which need to be energy intensively air conditioned so that they don't die.
This is not a sensible path for society to take
There's more to shorts than this:

I'm from Europe and especially during the summer you can see people dressed like this:

Some of them even go to work like this, especially if they don't work directly with customers and their companies don't have business attire requirements.
