    Well generally, wind blowing away from your laptop is exiting, and vents producing suction are pulling in. ;)

    Im pretty sure its blowing air out the side or back and suckiing from the bottom. You may be touching a vent not the fan intake.

    I reccommend the Zalman NC2000 or the Coolermaster notepal infinite

    Definitely the Zalman :D
    How wide is your notebook (in cm, I can't really judge in inches), The width of the Zalman NC2000 is 40cm and the Notepal, 38cm.
