    I was looking everywere for a good laptop cooling pad (hopefully with AC power and USB hub) but everywere i find a good one its too small like 300inch and my laptop is 350 inches (wide) so basically it will not stand correctly meaning it can couse even more heat problems to the ram/cpu/gpu

    so if u guy have any recomendations please tell me, thanks in advance

    I have been using the USB powered version of the Targus Chillpad for about 3 weeks now and it works great. Others in the forums have said it stops working, but mine has been flawless and keeps my 1710 very cool. It does come in an AC power/USB hub version. The 1710 has a 17" screen and the laptop extends over each side about an inch or so, but doesn't cause any issues with cooling. It has little nubs in the rear to keep the back of the laptop elevated about a quarter of an inch to allow for air flow. The design is two fans pulling heat from the bottom of the laptop and blowing it out he back of the chill pad. You can find them at about any computer store. Targus Chillpad.

    Something is wrong with the units you used - how can your laptop be 350 inches wide?????? Did you mean centimeters???

    Anyhow, I have a CoolerMAster Notepal cooling pad that works great. Even though the pad is 30cm the laptop 36, still the pad provides good support for the lappy and there are no issues with it at all :)

    The best way to find one that suits you is to take your lappy to a store and try few pads until you find one that makes you fell comfortable.
