    i have yet to find a flat notebook cooler that actually does an adequate job.
    You see, all laps are solidly flat on the bottom and the fans would just be deflected and any cooling would be useless.

    But i have a friend who had an ingenious idea which was to remove the plates that covered the ram bays and HD.
    And he added little button sized velcro to the plates for easy replacement instead of having to carry a lil screwdriver around.

    If youre not prepared to remove the plates then those lap coolers are pretty well a waste on money

    I own the Zalman NC2000, I actually wrote a review and to some yes a cooler may be useless but I love it. It drops temps allowing for more overclocking room or longer lifespan of the notebook.
