    I have just ordered a P150HM from Deviltech :)
    As I understand the intake for the fans is on the bottom side.
    So, is it a good thing to have some sort of a plate under the laptop so it will let the air pass through better?
    I'm going to have it on the bed alot when gaming and watching movies and I don't want to block the fans because of this.

    You definitely want to keep the computer on a flat surface so there can be proper airflow. If you block those vents you'll start overheating quickly and the comptuer will start shutting down on you. A notebook cooler is the ideal choice, something that will connect through USB port for power would be best.

    Thanks for your reply :) Any recommendation of a good cooler that is sized for a 15 inch and that is lightweight and as portable as possible? Because I'm going to travel with this laptop alot.

    I ordered this for my new NP8130 (P151HM1) and its fantastic.

    It elevates the back of the laptop, is powered through USB and has changeable fans (meaning you can move where the fans are on the underside of the cooler to fit your laptop perfectly). It is also really quiet compared to a couple of my older laptop coolers that sounded like tanks.

    The one I have is the CoolerMaster SF-19 3.0 :)

    I finished playing ACII on it, full settings and all...with full blast on full-performance mode, I couldn't elevate anything beyond 48C :eek:

    Imagine a hair dryer on low... half of that noise.

    I use decent headphones so it doesn't bother me one bit.
