Yes, this is so true - my favourite one, the chessboard model, is an
uncannily perfect fit for 17" laptops... so perfect that just as you
said, it actually restricts the airflow. I nearly killed a customers 17"
MacBook with thermal shock before I figured that out.

The kitten models are all happily a bit bigger.

Sometimes low tech solutions really are the best.
