Soft laptop cooling pads?

I know they exsist but what are some good one. I am looking for this because I need one that I can sit on my lap without having to plug it in.

 

Thermaltake iXoft has some pretty good reviews (I do not have one)
and the benchmarks look pretty good for a passive cooler. 4-6 degrees C lower temps....

 

I would just use an oven mitt.

 

Well I want to use it on my lap but i also want to have kids so would the iXoft protect the boys?

This looks like what I need. Are there any local stores selling it (like best buy or CC)?

 

Office Depot

 

Would that protect the boys I was thinking something like this but if I could get away with something smaller.

 

If you don't need some really cooling power, something as simple as a book or binder will adequately "protect the boys".

 

i just bought ixoft thermaltake cooling mat and it works for me

 

I have one of these, and I have been 95% satisfied with it. It fits my Dell D830 perfectly, as shown in this picture from Allsop's web site:



This allows it to fit perfectly in my laptop bag. It's very comfortable to use, but my only two complaints are as follows:

1. When using it with the high-side furthest from me, it sits right up against my fan intake, which partially blocks the airflow. This is easily solved by just sliding my laptop to the side a couple of inches.

2. When using it with the high-side closest to me, the little half-inch lip sits right up against the fan output port, which partially blocks the airflow. This is also easily solved by sliding the laptop to the side a bit, or by moving it back.

Neither one of these complaints are deal-breakers, but are things that Allsop could improve in future products.

Hope this helps.
