laptop cooling pads

do you use one?

if so, what do you recommend?

 

I used to use one with my old Thinkpad...just a generic sort of thing you can buy from BestBuy, I think it worked well. My new Though seems to be ok and I have a huge thing underneath it so my leg hairs don't get sucked into the cpu fan

 

haha nice,


is Though the name of the new cooling pad?

 

no ,the new one isn't a cooling pad, just a big 'game board' for the lack of a better term...like really solid cardboard...just something to keep everything flay really.

plus it's a 17WS...a beast, I don't think they even make a cooling pad that big but if they did I would buy it

 

I use Cooler Master. At least better than those plastic-made.

 

Yeah, I have the same problem trying to find a laptop pad so I just have a 15.4 standard pad for it and place it where it gets the hottest.

I have a two fanned targus one, it works very well for me

 

well I'm curious now, I wonder if they make them for 17"...must pay a visit to tigerdirect!

 

i use one as well, but i dont no the name, its downstairs, i dont feel like going there now.

I will update the post, in a while

 

I used one with my previous laptop it did work

 

there is a company called Thermaltake that makes cooling pads, some fanned and some not, has anyone tried the non fanned one that is supposed to drive the heat away from the middle of the pad to the edges?

 

I'm always using it, summer or winter. I got some Chinese with 3 fans.

 

Everybody has a laptop... I never use my laptop. So don't need the fans. But the thermaltake ones are great, both for pc and laptop.

 

i use targus from office depot
keeps my laptop cool

 

Thermaltake makes killer case & cpu fans too, I'd trust them for sure

 

i used to use them, then I broke two. After that I just started keeping the laptop on the desk.
