    I lay in bed, I play games on my lap, with my laptop.
    my pc specs are in signature, its an i7-2630qm and it produces temps as follows during normal operation, web surfing etc.

    they do jump when i play video games though, get pretty hot in my opinion, dont know the actual temperature, btw what is wear level on battery? how can i keep the wear level low? i have samsung software that keeps battery charged at %80 so it doesnt wear the battery, or does it not work.

    take note of the bump under your laptop, and make sure they match the one on the cooler. The most annoying thing for me is to have my laptop "sliding" down my cooling pad when im lying down on bed.

    OH SORRY! I got confused with another person i'm helping find a cooler!
    if it was me I would go with #2 because I would enjoy the tilt, and there are more than 3 vents so the larger fan would cover a lot? I don't know that much about coolers so I'm just using basic logic :eek:

    I personally use #3.

    And it's 10C cooler than my Zalman NC2000 cooler, which I think speaks volumes since the NC2000 is very good already.
