I don't know if any extra passive airflow the top half gets will make up for putting two of the major heat producers, the LCD backlight and the SoC, next to each other.
Also consider the surface next to the laptop bottom is still a conductive heat sink. Might well be more effective than the airflow the top manages to get from convection. As long as your legs are cooler than the SoC, the heat still flows out.
