Latitude E6410 cooling stand

I have recently purchased a Latitude E6410 and find that it gets awfully hot sitting on my lap, so I'd like to get a cooling stand for it. Any other 6410 owners out there have one that you like?

Thanks.

Wow. Most of those cooling pads are aimed towards gamers and performance users and might be too bulky for easy portability and too heavy (and pointy) for use on the lap. Something big, heavy and metallic makes a lot of sense on a tabletop, but not on your lap.

I would advise jro to look at actual bricks-and-mortar retailers.

To give you an example, there is the Targus Laptop Chill Mat PA248Y03U. It's not the newest design, but it's the right size for a 14" notebook, fits in a carrying case easily, doesn't weight much and goes for as little as $9.99 when it's on sale. It's not on sale this week, though.

There are a huge number of options, many of which are incredibly effective, but lacking in portability or practicality.

The E6410 really doesn't require a cooling pad if it's on a flat surface. What most people don't understand is that the E6410 runs cooler with heavy processor loads than when it's idle. Basically, BIOS keeps the fan off most of the time when the processor is relatively inactive. It's counter intuitive.
