    Ok...I still didn't receive my M1530, but I'm thinking of buying a cooling pad for when ill play games....

    To choose the right cooling pad, I need to know where does the M1530 take in air, and where it releases it...Example: 1)It takes air from the side and blows it out underneath the notebook 2) It takes in air from underneath the notebook, and blows it out from the side...

    If any of you have an M1530 or know the answer, please answer...

    ty!

    :)

    All the vents/fans seem to be toward the back/rear/bottom.

    On the bottom of the computer (top left) it sucks in the air, and then there is a vent directly facing out the back of your computer in that same area pushing it out.

    tell you the truth, don't waste the money on a cooling pad if your 1530 is coming with a 9-cell battery. It raises the notebook from the back a little and allows the excellent cooling.

    A notebook cooler can help lower the overall temps . The Zalman NC1000 is a definite good choice in the matter.
    More on cooling in the link in my sig.
