    ive been looking at the notepal U3, but will the m18x fully fit on it?

    does anyone have any pics? that would be ideal! (if someone had pics of an m18x on a notepal U3.

    basically i want to find a cheap cooler that the whole laptop will fit on it without the lappy hanging off on the sides.

    it supports up to 19", so your M18x (18.4") should be able to fit.

    the dimensions on the notepal u3 are:
    depth: 320mm
    width: 420mm

    the alienware dimensions:
    Depth: 322mm
    Width: 436mm

    so ur laptop is 2mm longer and 1.6cm wider (just a bit bigger)

    I don't have an m18x but it fit my G73jw with plenty of room to spare. And that's a huge 17" laptop. You just need to make sure the fan positions are correct. If the laptop overlaps the cooler it's no big deal. (unless that bothers you)

    Goodness; you must be anal-retentive? I am too but I stop at turning the toilet paper so that it pulls from the top. Even at a friends house.

    Anyway, 18.4 is such an odd size and few people buy them. That's why there's so few accessories to accommodate them.

    If the few companies that manufacturer them were smart, they'd make their own accessories, then the people that buy those computers wouldn't have be so frustrated.
