No, I had to stack two on top of eachother or the light will shine through. The bottom one I cut from aluminium tape.

Nice! ;)

... assuming you know about upside down pineapple meaning ... (open laptop is signaling other swingers).

I think that pineapple will not be upside down when the laptop is open, that is the back lf the laptop, you can see the hinge.

This is a 2015 model and still has it but I'm not a fan myself. It can't even be disabled because it's lit by the display backlight.
