    I think I've gotten a good model in mind, but from what I've heard it runs pretty hot. Does anyone know a good cooling device to use? I've seen lots of things from ergonomic stands made out of aluminum, to some pads with fans which take power from the usb port. However does anyone know what's the best device or thing to use?
    Here is what I want in order of priority:
    1. Cooling (the cooler it can make my new laptop when it arrives the better.)
    2. Portability (I don't want to carry around something heavy or bulky.)
    3. Power (no point in using a device if it drains my battery before the notebook gets hot)
    4. Comfort (it would be nice if it could sit on my lap or on my bed instead of just on a desk)
    5. Price (I'm sure a tray made completely out of silver would be great for a heat sink, but there's no way I can pay for it.)
