    So lately my laptops been getting really hot especially when gaming and so I've decided I need to get a cooling pad.

    I have these selections to choose from but I need help on which one to get:

    Antec Notebook cooler
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/61069

    Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand Notebook Cooling Pad
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/140685

    And this one which seems to be popular here, the Zalman ZM-NC1000
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=483470

    Firstly will all three of them be suitable for the my laptop in size and correct cooling.

    Which one should I get or do you recommend something else.

    Thanks alot

    As a Vostro 1500 owner (same as 1520 minus color and a bit of build quality) the Zalman NC2000 does stunning work. Points to review.

    That is a very nice review, that one would have been an option but unfortunately I can't find anyone selling the NC2000 here in the UK.

    Ok well I'm going to go with NC1000 since that one seems the best option and only differences it seems to have with the NC2000 is size. One question, is it ok to have on the lap?

    The 1000 is probably your best shot, just make sure the positioning is right ( lower then in the pics of my nc2000 review, its a bit high there. IT IS NOT OK FOR YOUR LAP.
