Turn them upside-down, it won't effect anything. They are made with this in mind.

Also most people get the terminology wrong, there are laptops and notebooks.
Not surprising for people to toss incorrect computer terminology around, this
has been going on since the inception of them. To this day I still here users
point to their tower and call it a "hard drive" or a "CPU".

Notebooks are what is sold in today's market. They are 6 Lbs or lighter
and have larger screens than laptops.
Notebooks today have WIFI, USB, PIII/P4, larger hard drives, slimmer profiles.

Laptops are from an older era and are smaller than notebooks and
heavier. Anything 8 Lbs or more is usually a laptop.
Laptops usually don't have USB, internal ethernet, screen resolutions above
800 x 600.

Another misused word is motor.

Motors are electric, your car has an engine...engines have internal combustion.
