    Well anyways, I am looking for a G50VT-X2 owner. I need to know how the air gets sucked into the laptop and pushed out. I need to know this because I am searching for a laptop cooler that will fit my laptop. (I would do this myself but I don't have access to it till December 12th. <-- My b-day

    Don't forget to look at the G50V-A1/A2/X1 as well. Same body shell, so cooler should fit just the same

    Yeah, phunkypbp posted a review on his X2. Also, Ikilledyourhamster ordered one when it was at the crazy $1200 price, so you can ask him once it arrives in a few days.

    Unlikely that it will have the 2nd bracket, but those things are cheap enough, although they were not in stock last time I checked.

    It's more of a want-it-there-when-I-need-it kinda thing.

    He's saying he wants to know if the bracket is there or not because, even though he doesn't need it now, he might use it in the future...

    As I own the X1 I can't say with 100% accuracy but it did not come with the bracket so I doubt the X2 does.

    As for how air get's into the laptop it's pulled in from several vents situated over the CPU, GPU, and other parts. All the air is ported out through a large vent on the left side (about 1/3 the depth of the laptop). For good cooling look for a cooler that would cover most the bottom with air being blown up into the laptop.

    Note, the large circular vent is closed, as that would only draw air directly into the fan cutting circulation from the rest of the laptop.

    Check out these reviews, as the V1 is the same case as the V2
