    I just got back from the store and saw lapcool 2,3,4. I dunno if they are good so i need your advice.

    What would u guys suggest for my laptops configuration over here:

    I am thinking of buying the Zalman NC-1000 but im not sure if its good enough?



    I have no idea what you call these things =\ ...perhaps they are air intakes?

    The Zalman is the most recommended for almost every notebook because of its design of cooling the entire bottom of the notebook.

    I currently have these:

    VANTEC LapCool2 - Link
    BYTECC NC-500 - Link

    The Vantec is hooked up to my HP notebook and the Bytecc is connected to my Eee PC. Both do a fine job but the Vantec has more features and extremely silent compared to the Bytecc.
