Ok to use Swift Go 14 OLED with lid closed while screen extended via HDMI ?

I like to work on a large monitor and usually have the laptop lid closed while duplicating the screen using HDMI out. (Been using Lenovo Thinkpad E14 IPS till now for over 8 months in this way without any issue. ) Noticed that the heat vents on my Swift Go (bought very recently) are on the sides, and that it can get quite hot during operation.

Will using the laptop with the lid closed damage the OLED? As i read that being close the laptop body can potentially damage the screen. Also cannot find the operating range of the OLED panel on the laptop on Acer Sense, so if anyone can point it out would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

    It shouldn't, that's not a terribly uncommon use, so they take the air flow into consideration with the design. Which Swift Go 14 model do you have? There have been several different ones over the years and many, many different SKUs. Your full model number is usually on the same sticker as your serial number, it should look something like SFG14-xxx-xxxx.
