Do you have an example?

I tried to find something, but the only mention was five years old saying Alienware might try it.

It sounds stupid but with people using laptops on beds I could see the idea behind it.

If they increased the size of those little rubber feet to keep the screen and keyboard separate, then that would completely solve the issue.

I want to see if no one's thought of that yet since it seemed so obvious, but I just can't find any real example of keyboard cold air intakes. Are you talking about actual vents? Going between the keys may just be an urban legend from what I'm seeing.
