Why do most gaming laptops have vents on the bottom?

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

where else would you put them? with my laptop there’s a big vent across the bottom and you can’t really cover the whole thing with your legs

Even if you can’t cover the whole thing with your legs, I assume they’re designed for those vents to be entirely uncovered.

Also, depending on load those vents can airfry your legs.
