NOTE: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least a 7.6-cm (3-inch) clearance on the right side

by high external temperatures, system power consumption, power management/battery conservation
configurations, battery fast charging, and software requirements. Exhaust air is displaced through the
ventilation grill located on the left side of the computer.
