    Do the Zalman NC line of notebook coolers (i.e. NC-1000 or NC-2000) push air up into the laptop so the laptop fans can suck the cool air inside?
    Or do the notebook coolers pull warm air down and blow it below the cooler onto the surface of the desk?

    I would prefer one that pulls cool air up and allows the laptop to suck more cool air inside to cool the components.
