Fans intake or exhaust?

[WokeUp]

Hey guys the new razer blade has two fans that show on the bottom but do they bring air in from the bottom or exhaust it out? because my mac brings it in from the top and exhaust through the bottom..

This is the one time smoking is good for you. Grab an incense stick if you don't smoke, or a match you've lit, and blown out. stick it next to the fan, and see which way the smoke goes.

Most laptops are exhaust by default using blower style cooling, this is especially true with tight form factors like the new razer blade. So the answer is probably yes, it's exhaust.

As the only vents are at the bottom they will be exhaust.

 

All laptops will be different, for example my GT72 intakes at the bottom and exhausts out the back, other have intakes on the top and bottom and exhaust either out the back or to the sides. Depends on where the vents are located

It intakes through the bottom and exhausts out the base of the hinge.
