    I would just like to know, i have a 15.4" laptop and yes i know, it will fit well. I have about 5 ventilation holes at the bottom of my laptop, 4 of them are mostly at the area which is located my touchpad. 1 of them is all the way back somewhere where the screen is. I think that the Zalman will cool 4 out of 5 of my vent holes (the 5th one being pretty cool during my observations). Is it still worth buying?

    (btw, i hate my laptops fan config. troubles with laptop coolers)

    yes it is because the slant will bring the air flow up to the area under the screen of a notebook as well.

    I just got this one(it comes in silver too). Might be a better configuration if you willing to spend the extra cash up front and get the rebate.
