In a tablet mode, when you cover keyboard, doesn't it cause overheating? It covers the processor vent ports, doesn't it?

No, it does not cover the vents because the vents are in the back end of the notebook and not in the bottom and in tablet mode the case covers only the end that doesn't have vents.

Yes you can go tablet mode! The screen will completely fold over and the keyboard becomes inactive in tablet mode.

T keyboard attaches to the inside of he cover magnetically. Once you remove the keyboard, you can close the cover and what touches your screen is the fax suede leather, so the screen is protected. This system is set up so that you could use the case and leave the keyboard at home. It's a great unit because of its Bluetooth capability. Previous tablets that I had were wired, and you had to mess with cables and right angle connectors. That's the beauty of this. Great product.

Mine doesn't get any warmer that it does without the case. The bottom is vented to prevent this from happening. However, the keyboard cover makes your sound output slightly lower.

Um what? All I know is this: I have a Nvidia GTX 770 which has those two weird ports. I have a VERY VERY VERY OLD monitor. I plugged it in and it works beautifully, no complaints. As for over heating...um....what? No offense but I don't think you know what your doing or even talking about if your asking about monitors overheating. I've NEVER heard of that happening.

I experienced the same issue from time. It sometimes worked when I use the brutal force to connect the keyboard and the tablet. After a while the tablet was damaged by that. The screen has a vertical black area above the connection port. My suggestion is not to use the keyboard at all. Just return it.

No. Your laptop WILL overheat. This is the reason I stopped using mine. My Macbook Pro got excessively hot just below the screen because the exhaust/vents are covered by this case. There are no holes or vents in this case. Excessive heat like that will shorten the life of your laptop.

The Exhaust vent is in a very good spot on this computer in my opinion. It would be very hard to plug this vent accidentally. The warm air exits in the middle under the monitor towards the screen side. I have done a lot of gaming and so far have not noticed any excessive heat.

I've never had any problems with my computer overheating. The bottom of my computer has a lift to it on the bottom of one side. So that keeps it from laying flat & allows for ventilation anyway. Not sure if that helps any.

There is a very good question. The keyboard/cover had many bad reviews. It warps. I did not purchase the keyboard/cover with the tablet.

I have not had any overheating issues. Sometimes the thunderbolt cable gets warm, though.

There is a vent on the left side, and it can get warm when running heavy applications, but it doesn't overheat on the bottom or top. A good computer will get warm when running applications. When surfing, it stays pretty cool. It's much better than an HP or Compaq I have.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. The keyboard is the same size as the screen just a little thinner. You can close it against the screen like a laptop. I bought two for my kids in Feb and they have had no issues with them. Hope that helps.

My computer is about 6 months old and doesn't overheat frequently, so it's not the biggest problem for me right now. If you have a laptop that tends to overheat, it may be a problem because the case has no vents. Unless your case is closed, there is a pocket of space at the spine of the case that might let some heat escape. But on occasions where my computer overheats, I usually take it out of the case, so to answer your question: no, overall this case isn't really built to prevent overheating but I haven't experienced much overheating with it on my laptop. Hope that helps!

There are definitely vents on the bottom. There also appear to be some kind of slit just under the left and right side near the front that might be vents as well, but the ones on the bottom definitely vent air when the computer is running a game or something intense. It does not get overly hot, however, in any case.

I have a Core i7 laptop which does heat up, there is a slight gap between the surface of the lapdesk and the laptop. It allows the heat to dissipate as there is air flow underneath.
