Sometimes, it's the "little things" that matter most. Designer **Young Hwan Kim** has come up with a [notebook design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compal-electronics-infinite-laptop) that tackles one of the most annoying and bothersome aspects of mobile computing - heat. The laptop concept â€œFloat Awayâ€ solves the problem by elevating the back end via an integrated lift bar into the design. This simple mechanism causes [heat to dissipate into the air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plasma-actuators) keeping your [laptop cool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laptop-cooling-pad) (possibly extending its life) and protecting your family jewels if you are the kind of guy who puts the laptop on his lap.
