If you’re using the laptop as intended (i.e., on your lap), wouldn’t those be almost entirely blocked?

    Apple put them on the sides (cut into the edge it’s as much on the bottom as it is on the side) as well in the center below the screen on 14“ and 16” MacBook Pro models. Works great, even though the fan doesn’t run 95% of the time anyway, there’s at least multiple spots where fresh air can get in even if one or two vents are blocked.

      The new MBPs can do that because they use super power efficient CPUs (ARM is way more efficient than x86) and no onboard dGPU.

      Can’t disagree they work great, but it’s an order of magnitude of easier to cool hardware
