So i wanted to go out and get a laptop cooler. i was lookin at the belkin laptop cooler, Antec Dual-Fan Laptop Cooler, NexxTech Coolfan, and the Targus Laptop Chill Mat. if anyone can recommend me a cooler that would be awesome! or if you can tell me who you keep your laptop cool would be cool to. thxs!

    To be honest, I dont think you need a cooler...

    Mine can blow some HOT air out when I play my games, but the rest of the notebook feels cool. Just the hot air comming out is mad hot... But thats good, means its doing its job.

    The only other thing I feel that gets warm is right near the top on my touchpad to the top right, but thats already been confirmed to be the touchpad light that goes around the touchpad.

    Unless you will be playing in an 85F or warmer room or if you plan on overclocking I would say you are fine without a cooler. These things run great!
