That is going to depend on the laptop design.  It's not just the screen
that users power, generates heat, etc.

If the laptop relies on the lid being open for ventilation, then you
need to do so.  i.e. Is all the cooling ventilation through the bottom
and sides, or are their some grilles around the keyboard?
