erh, vice versa!
If it is below 55° then you can leave it closed. If t heats up, then open it
a bit to prevent the display from burning. In older days you could see a
display brighten up if it was closed while working or gaming. the colors
were gone for a while. When it got back to normal temperature then it as
well got back to normal. My dell has a sensor. I think your Laptop should as
well have one, if the fan isn't blowing all the time. Because then it is
temp sensitive controlled. I know only of one, meant for my 'Lap' called
i8kfangui- download at www.diefer.de. It should work with yours hopefully.
Normally if not using CPU intense calculations it should stay belowsay 60°-
which is as well acceptable. But the lesser it goes up- the longer youre
investition will last!
I.e. the MBTF [mena lifetime of a HDD] is shorten tremendously if the hard
disk heats up over 50°!! [Celsius I am talking- not fahrenheit]
Most laptops will become hotter than specified. They are cheating us..

I spoke with Compaq and they said that it was okay to keep it closed all the
time but they didn't recommend having the computer vertical. They didn't
elaborate as to why.

All the Acers and Toshibas I have ever owned have had a switch on the hinge to
detect lid closure, and this kills the drive to the internal screen.

Having the computer vertical will change the airflow and cooling
patterns [many laptops use "heat pipe" water cooling]. Also, some
CD/DVD drives won't work if they are not horizontal. Those are the only
things that I can think of.
