The vast majority take in from the bottom and blow out the hinge. That's how you can fit the larger blower fans.

Right, Those are the terrible ones. Put it on your lap (which, let's be honest, is basically the whole point) or a slightly soft surface and it just gets starved of air.

That's why they stopped calling them "laptops" for a while, and instead "notebooks".

But I actually just went and checked Dell, HP, and Lenovo and they do call them laptops again.
