    Hey sorry if this is in the wrong section but being that this particular model produces quite a bit of heat I figured I'd post here.

    I purchased this laptop about two weeks ago. While thrilled with its performance, I have been looking for a way to reduce temps a bit. I was getting about 47-48 degrees on speedfan during idle/light computing and about 70-71 idle on the gpu. In comes the Belkin laptop cooler!...( http://reviews.cnet.com/notebook-accessories/belkin-laptop-cooling-stand/4505-6459_7-32335791.html) My temps have gone down 5-6 degrees on the cpu and also 5-6 degrees on the gpu. While I haven't stressed it yet with 3d games, this product is a winner. It actually does what it claims and with one fan to boot! I was originally after the targus 2 fan version but Best Buy was out and I didn't want to spend $53.00. (I don't need the extra usb ports the Targus offers) The unit is sturdy although made of plastic and the fan while audible is actually kind of quiet. I'll chime in with more after some 3d tests. :)
