    I dont have it but do you really need it ? Has you may know there's a great vent system on NP9150 like on NP9170, which is pretty cool even on load.

    Laptop coolers usually are not necessary, but some folks would still prefer to have one.

    I don't think that the Notepal X3 would work effectively on the NP9150, the fan is too centralized and would just blow on the bottom middle of the laptop.

    To really have an effective laptop cooler, it is better to get one where the fans will line up with the intake on your laptop.

    For that reason, I would recommend the Cooler Master Notepal U2, you can position the fans almost anywhere and because of this, you should be able to get the fans to blow air directly into the intake ports on your laptop.

    The Zalman-NC 2000/3000 is also pretty decent cooler, though a bit on the expensive side. I don't think it makes a HUGE difference, but a few degrees is never a bad thing and it looks pretty sharp.
