Zusammenfassung:	A method and system for adjusting a temperature of a bottom of a laptop computer housing depending on where the laptop computer is placed during operation. If the laptop computer is placed on a lap of a user, or alternatively on any surface that has direct contact with the bottom of the laptop computer housing, sensors on the bottom of the laptop computer housing are activated. The sensors produce a signal to initiate supplemental cooling measures to reduce the temperature of the bottom of the laptop computer housing. Cooling measures taken include decreasing an operating speed of logic circuits such as a central processing unit (CPU) or increasing cooling fan output.
