    Hello everyone :)

    I would just like to ask what cooler would you recommend for the 17" MacBook Pro. My cousin has one, and I can't seem to find a suitable cooler for it. Seeing that there's not much ventilation underneath that laptop.

    If you had read the notebook cooler buyers guide (link in sig) you would have noticed that Rosewill RNA-7000W is mentioned particularly for the MBP. I would recommend that if you are on a tight budget but if you have a little more spread the Zalman NC2000 should do a better job at keeping the contact metal chassis of the MBP cooler therefore cooling the components better.

    :)

    Thanks for the fast reply X2P. I was contemplating whether the Zalman NC2000 would be a good choice. Thanks for the confirmation :)
