    I am looking for a laptop cooler for my M1530 that gets power through a plug and not through USB. I will no be moving it and just want ti be able to set my laptop on it and take it off without connecting or disocnnecting anything. I was looking at this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834995510 but it does not have a plug power, just USB, but I love the fan. Any ideas from you guys.

    Actually to think about it, I have a plug that I had for my Ipod a while back that you can plug any usb that u plug into your computer into it and give it power.

    Just make sure it is a 5v adapter and your fine. Now your free to choose your cooler, take a peek at my guide. Also, avoid teh NZXT if your plugging it into the wall since it wont get enough power same if you plug it into the notebook but...

    Hi I need to buy a laptop cooler. I have come to consider the following two.

    Vantek Lapcool 3 and Coolermaster NotePal
    (R9-NBC-ADAS/ADAK).

    Which do you suggest between the two?
    Could any one direct me to some good user reviews ?

    Thanks
