    i have a quick question about the Dell E1505 and its fan placement
    i am not sure if the vent in the back left corner of the laptop is an intake or exhaust vent for the laptop. I know the one shooting straight out the back is the exhaust but i cant tell if the one on the underside right below the exhaust is going in or out. I hope this makes sense to everyone, ill be checking this frequently so if you have any questions ill try to be back to answer as soon as i can. thanks

    AFAIK - Dell's back vent has always been an exhaust while those on the side or bottom have been intakes.

    ok thanks, i was thinking that put i have a laptop cooler that blows air up from the bottom and it blows right into that vent and it seems to make it a little warmer when that is running so i just thought i would check
