You choosing to not even look for evidence so you could make an argument in ignorance does not automatically mean it doesn't exist. This is literally the first google result for "laptop case temperature causing burns": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4292129/

Also look at this fun condition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythema_ab_igne

> Temperatures between 43 and 47 °C can cause this skin condition; modern laptops can generate temperatures in this range. Indeed, laptops with powerful processors can reach temperatures of 50 °C and be associated with burns.

So your rebuttal consists of "just put it off your legs, duh". Got it.

That's a flagged and dead reply to a sibling comment which would look schizophrenic as a response to this one - on top of everything else that is already wrong with it.
