Just raising it helps some, but in general any newer laptop draws air from below and exhausts it from the sides so a cooler on the bottom doesn’t do a lot for the laptop.

The exception is if you are resting it on a soft surface that could block vents, like your f-ing lap! In that case any of those coolers will make a big difference in both your comfort and the laptop. On a good hard surface that will make very little difference unless your laptop vents are clogged up as others have said.

FFS, the worst for me is coding tutorials?!? Really? You really expect me to retype all the shit you are showing in your IDE? I 100% can’t get that shit. 2nd worst is those shits that post their code as screenshots in text so you can’t cut and paste.
