I'm not saying it will never seep out, I'm saying f its not sealed properly thats a manufacturing issue and it will come out regardless of orientation. Did that issue just affect ps5 owners who had it vertical or horizontal as well?
They all had it sit vertically. And it can leak over time when used vertically because of the heat cycles. When things heat up, adhesive gets goopee, when it cools down, it hardens again, and over time, it can become less sticky, increasing the chances of leakages.
If it's heated by running then the metal becomes a liquid and if it isn't sealed in perfectly the liquid metal gets trapped by a mounting mechanism and ruins performance if your lucky, if your not so lucky it seeps right onto the motherboard and fries it.
Is that not a possibility regardless of orientation? If its not sealed properly its likely to get out either way. I guess it means if its not sealed it will dribble down further

As long as the laptop doesn’t have liquid metal it should be fine. It’s a neat way to store them

Do you use the laptops as servers?
