you do not really want this because the machine will OVERHEAT!

How do you figure that? I'm typing this at my desk at work on a laptop with the lid closed. Granted it's on a docking station that raises the rear a couple inches (I guess for extra air-flow) but it still illustrates the fallacy of your argument.

+1, I like to leave my netbeook plugged in with the lid closed when I download a huge file overnight. Never been an issue here.
