my new skin for my Surface Pro!

Thanks! Appreciate it!

wow, you need to talk to some engineers. I will have to brace you for the fact that they may laugh at you. the heat sink is not the external case. the heat sink is within the Surface Pro. It still comes out vents

Well I think you might need to talk to the engineers. While it comes out the vents, it also dissipates through the case. All you need for confirmation is to hold one and see that it gets warm/hot... no engineers required. Things that get warm/hot are dissipating heat, and by definition a heat sink. If you cover it up with something that has insulating properties, it is going to hold more heat in and not allow it to dissipate. This is not rocket science.

your knowledge is pretty ridiculous. you really do need to take a thermodynamics class.

Okay, if you put a hot metal pot of boiling water in a cardboard box and leave the top of the box and the pot open. The cardboard box will get warm. That doesn't mean the proportion of heat that is dissipated or transferred is appreciative. Of course, any device will get warm and that means heat is transferring to the material. But that is not what is really cooling the system down.

I didn't say the case was the ONLY thing cooling it down, but it is part of the design. Calling me ridiculous isn't changing the facts. I'm not arguing with you any more, so you can have the last word.
