    Nice review, it's interesting reading about the temperatures, I wonder what the difference with the m17x would be, as it sucks air in through the top and blows it backwards...

    It's a good review and I can see your a regular "blogger" with some very good articles.

    Good review. +reps

    I was hoping to see more GPU temperature drops but it does everything else quite well.

    yes, it's too bad the GPU isn't affected. but as mentioned in the article, i think that's just because the GPU is simply too powerful (evidence for this is also that some guys had temps of over 100°C with faulty cooling systems, so the 8800m is probably throttled way back by its BIOS and the drivers).

    In your experience Whizzo, have you used any notebook coolers that were any better than this one?

    nope, didn't get any other ones. i might contact some other companies for more review models though. the only one i'm pretty much certain i'll get at some point is the new Lian Li cooler coming out in Q1 of 2009.

    EDIT: no problem OB :)
