    hey all, i was one of the reviewers of the W3V and though everything's workin alright after a reformat, (before which bluetooth, wifi, and hotkeys didn't work) but one major thing is beginning to erk me more and more and i'm worried about the wellbeing of the notebook, the immense heat which comes when it's under any stress. I'm guessing at least some W3V/(W3J?) owners have gotten cooling pads to use on their desks and wanted to know if they would recommend theirs or if they have any suggestions for certain models. Thanks

    For your hotkeys, you will need to install Hcontrol, check your CDs for that.

    As for laptop cooling pads, many use Vantec Lapcool 3.

    There are many laptop coolers, just browse through them all, pick one that meets your needs and price.

    It will reduce many of the temperatures within the notebook. I also suggest have a look at your temparture before and after using a laptop cooler by using a 3rd party program.
