    Hi guys, I am about to buy Cooler master Notepal W1 for my XPS M1730. The good thing about this cooling pad is that it has 3 fans and all of them are located nicely fit into the fans of M1730. But all 3 fans are sucking the air out of the laptop which I don't know if it is right or not. I mean, for XPS M1730, the cooling pad should suck out or push the air into the laptop?
    If this cooling pad is not the right one, any suggestion would be appreciated!
    Thanks !

    Anyway, I got a chance to borrow the Notepal W1 from my friend. The 3 fans are sucking the air out of the M1730. I have no idea if the W1 is still a good choice for my laptop or not. So if there is a better one, plz recommend it for me!
    Thx

    you should be able to flip the direction of the fans... simply remove the screws and the casing, flip the fans over... it'll push and not pull.

    I still want to know if we want to put the fans of the cooling pad in same direction of XPS air flow or in the opposite way?

    Zalman ZM-NC2000 is a good one for 17" laptop but it depends on the location of the laptop fans.
    Thanks for your advice :D
