Are there holes in the bottom of the case for ventilation? If not, does this case ventilate well?

it ventilates well enough, that the mac doesn't overheat. except on certain surfaces for example, on top of clothing or quilts it may begin to heat just bit.

There are no holes in the bottom of the case. However, the lining breathes and I have not had any issues with the case getting hot or having problems.

No, there are not. However, it does seems to ventilate well enough. I have not had any problems.

It has slits on the sides and slits on the bottom piece for ventilation. Air flow isn't an issue with these. I wouldn't worry about that. I still think this is the best deal.

No holes needed. The ends of the fan fit into the grooves of the window. It also has on the top some tabs that go behind and in front of the lowered window which also help keep it in place. I also add some of that foam rubber that is made to insulate window AC units. I also found that the grille of the fan had pretty big spaces and allowed bugs and flies to get in so I buy extra large panty hose at the 99cent store and slip a leg over the fan. It works perfectly, keeping the bugs out and I just change it every month or so as it also ends up being a bit of an air filter too.

There are two small openings on each side at the rear of the bin. They are not an intentional ventilation feature, however, I'm just agreeing that it is not an airtight bread bin. I'd also consider the finish stainless steel...matches my appliances perfectly.

Hello, I have never had a problem with it over heating but I am also not constantly online. If you are constantly online then I am assuming it might become there are no holes for ventilation. Hope that helps

It is designed so it doesn't block the vents. My laptop doesn't get any hitter than it does without the case.

No ventilation holes in the back. There is also not a handle on top which would have been nice!

No flap, but it's a sealed system, there's nowhere for cold air to go using the proper ventilation system.

Yes. There is a vent in the lid. Have had in for several months and love itHighly recommend it.

There are no ventilation holes or slats. The lid is held down solely by gravity, though, so it is not as if there's an airlock. The finish is more matte than chrome-like. It is a close match to my brushed nickel faucet, though not perfect.

Yes, it would, as the base does not have vent holes and the computer sits flat on the stand. My computer, also a Dell, does not have vent holes on the bottom, only on the sides and the main fan vent on the back. My vents on the side line up with the holes in the stand no problem, and of course the rear fan is not obstructed at all. I have absolutely no concerns about ventilation on my computer case.

No it doesn't have holes on the bottom of it. It kicks dirt to the sides when laying prone though.

It does not block the vents. I'm sure it runs slightly hotter just based on physics :) but I have not noticed anything abnormal. I love the case so far (2 months)

Robert, I have no problem with overheating. The ventilation holes seem adequate, but that's just for me. I hope this helps.

No holes, just raised sharp bumps on top. Bottom is, as you suggest, solid.

There is plenty of airflow coming up from the bottom. This is not an issue.

Yes air should move enough and is quiet running. I would ensure vent in/out hole was there.
