    hey guys, please post the notebook coolers you've been using with the m15x, and if they've been effective... i'd really love a cool feel when using this on my lap.

    thanks !

    according to whizzo his lego cooler seemed to be pretty effective. at least its way more effective than the zalman nc1000. that thing does absolutely nothing for the m15x >>

    I use the belkin cooler for the m15x. The height boost it gives does help lower my temps by about 5 degrees :)

    I use the xpad4laptop when travling. which basicly lifts the laptop about 1/3 inch and is great useing on your lap or in a car. It Passive Cooling, non slip. It draws Air From all 4 sides of the laptop cooler. But protects from lint clogging fibers.

    I also use Belkin's laptop cooler. It's pretty decent for the price. Even on Crysis my temperatures haven't exceeded 79C.

    No it give air flow from all sides. It better then having a laptop cooler that draws in dust and junk. Or in some cases burn out the laptop.

    Last year I went to Texas and back. It was a 3 day drive both ways. 6 days totals. The laptop connection was weak. But I use Acer and xpad4laptop laptop cooler. But it gives friends locations and I had fun.
