    I was just wondering if the fan on this laptop cooler blows onto the bottom of the laptop or draws air away from the bottom as i know that drawing air away from the bottom might cause turbulence with the laptop's bottom fan intake. If it does in fact draw air away, does anyone know if the fans can be reversed to blow air onto the bottom of the laptop? Thanks in advance!

    It blows air onto the bottom of a laptop and I don't know if you can reverse it or not.

    I have one, and going with babyboy the air does blow onto the bottom. The only way i can think to reverse it would be to open it and flip the fans. It shouldn't be hard to open these either as i think it is just screws that hold it together.

    yeah i was wondering if you could reverse the fans because i was afraid they didn't blow air onto the bottom of the laptop, so i don't actually need to reverse them according to what you guys are saying :) thanks!!

    laptool 2 is great, i have owned 3 and 4.. they were both horrible. But the fan blows air at the notebook. So if your air intake fan is on the bottom then..it would be sucking in cool air. Anyways.. it has kept my 14, 15, and 17" cool..
