    Does anyone feel that the air flow (even when propped up) is sufficient?

    ie, the Unit gets plenty hot, but the air blown out isn't very hot?

    I use an Antec notebook cooler and I have a but load of memory installed. The only time it gets really warm is when I'm encoding video or playing a 3D computer game. The only time I can feel air is when I'm playing computer games.

    I use a funky two fan, half size, angled cooler. Works great in all apps I use (gaming, DVD burning, video/audio editing).

    I am. Canadian!!!

    Where about's you live? Most independant computer stores stores carry them, got my downtown TO from www.canadacomputers.com

    people can say what they want here, but I can't understand a notebook design that requires an external fan [?]

    The reason this notebook needs an external fan is because the processor that's inside is designed for a desktop. Notebooks don't really have much of a airflow like their desktop counterparts. After all the more cool air you are blowing on the CPU the longer it'll last.

    I think you can because in one of the posts someone mentioned that he changed the the CPU. It would have a to be a intel chip because the motherboard isn't designed to hold a AMD CPU.

    if you own 6130, a notebook cooler is a must have companion. i bought the Vantec Lapcooler2 and my 6130 never gets hot anymore. even when im playing games, it only gets warm, never hot.

    Hi guys. I thought some of you would like to know that there is a laptop cooler on sale this week at Office Max. The targus brand one is one sale for $19.99. I got one and it really does make a difference. Especially the area to the left of the touchpad. Another nice thing is that it is powered by the usb port so you don't need more cords or power supplies. rex.
