    So I just bought myself a HP Envy 17 with an Intel i7 1.60Ghz Turbo Boost 2.80Ghz, 8GB RAM, AMD Raedon HD5850 and 1TB HDD. I'm quite impressed with it, I bought it for gaming when I'm not at home and I've been able to run BF3 with everything, except AA, on High and got reasonable FPS out of it.

    But there's a catch, it gets quite hot, not overheating as some HP Envy users sadly experience. So I thought maybe a cooling pad would help so that I don't run into these overheating issues in the future as some do. I then came across the Zalman ZM NC 3500 cooling pad, I fell for it because I've always had Zalman coolers in my desktop PC and they're briliant. So I wanted to hear if anyone has had any experiences with this particular cooling pad or if you have any other good suggestions.

    Thank you very much in advance
