It won’t hurt the laptop, but certainly will hurt us who were unfortunate enough to see this post, and will hurt you literally, both eyes, spine and neck, especially if this is used like this long term.

A small tv or monitor would be better but if it works
It is causing the machine spirit great discomfort, pain, and suffering.
No, the orientation isn’t really significant.

Shouldnt have bought your laptop and mic from Australia

You’d have to turn it round every 15 min to allow blood back into the mobo

Hmm…All the electrons will flow down and start pooling inside the screen – it might pass out and there’s danger of CPU haemorrhage

As long as it is firmly secured it should be alright.

It is totally fine to use it like that, that is how people in Australia uses laptops.

I am more concerned about the microphone hanging like that

Why not just hanging it the ” normal way ”? I dont’t think hanging it upside down would improve airflow that much.
Lifting it is already a huge help

Is it properly supported. Otherwise I imagine the laptop will be adding to much pressure on the hinges no?!

Old mechanical drives did suffer when titled but as everything now is solide state, the only worry is dropping it

Only way I could see it being a problem is if the laptop is using an HDD rather than an SSD. Otherwise all you need to worry about is the machine spirit applying for an Australian passport.

Yes, it would hurt. The hinges are made to hold the screen only, it makes them stress more. Only if you attach the main part somehow, then it would not.
no the electricity will drain to the screen and the laptop will pass out

In full seriousness? It’s likely to slowly overtime damage the hinge because of the weight being put on the laptop’s hinge while inverted is insane.
Not to mention, if this laptop has liquid metal (few do, but they def exist especially amongst gaming laptops) that’s like, HORRIFICALLY bad, overtime this could result in the liquid metal leaking and spilling on the motherboard causing all sorts of headaches that might not be repairable without an entire motherboard replacement.
