Interesting, were those experiments with traditional layout when motherboard is in the bottom part of the laptop? Maybe we just need to make screen heavy laptops with thin keyboards but with thicker cooling, that could also utilize convection better. Something that you put vertically and open keyboard down, I think some gaming tablets are like this now

You can use a thermal strap to transfer heat through the laptop hinges and in to the top screen area. But then you introduce thermal issues for the screen. LCD/OLEDs are rather heat sensitive.
