well i ussually use the m170 for gaming, but it gets too hot to have on the laps while playing, what would be the best to get? i want to somethig nice looking and that will cool alot?
ps: do you know how can i get the computer temp on my lappy
?
You can't get an internal fan for your laptop - those are permanent.
The best thing you can do is get a cooling pad as mentioned - they aren't that expensive (less than $45), and really help. I use one with my laptop, and it does help, especially for games.
Make sure the laptop is getting adequate ventilation - don't block the fans. You shouldn't have it on your lap while you are playing games, the notebook was never designed for that. It should be on a table or desk where it is getting good air flow underneath the laptop.
