    is a cooling pad necessary for the 1530? (i got a 6cell). ive seen the zalman(?) nc2000 review and i think that one is a little too pricey for me. can anyone suggest one for ~$30?

    also, what laptop locks do you guys recommend for the 1530?

    From what I gather, a cooling pad isn't necessary at all. The 1530 is fine when it comes to temperature, the 1330 is the one with issues. Can't speak of laptop locks, though.

    ^ thanks for the quick reply. ive been searchin around and actually came up with the antec notebook cooler. the majority of the reviews are ok so i think im gonna head out to buy it soon. im not sure if the 1530 would need it(since you said theres usually no problem with temp) but just incase, while playing some games it may heat up or something so might as well spend a extra $30 to make sure it runs cooler.
