    Guys, what would be the best option for a Laptop cooling pad for 150EM ?

    Also , what would you guys suggest essential new software/hardware upgrades for the new Sager np9150?

    NotePal U2 is a pretty good choice for cheap. If that is the style of thing you are looking for. As for upgrades, depends on your situation. If you have The caddy for the extra hard drive, then get yourself an SSD as an OS drive.

    As Xtrophy stated, the Notepal U2 should be decent enough for cooling your laptop. It elevates the back end, and gives you two fans that you should be able to position right over the intake holes for better air flow.

    For software, what are you planning on running for anti-virus? web browser?

    If you haven't ordered your laptop with a Solid-State drive I highly recommend getting one, as it is the single biggest bang for your buck upgrade for your system.

    Has anyone tried one of those bamboo notebook coolers?? I think they look cool and would think they would work well.

    i was actually looking for a cooling pad for my np 9150 and found CM storm SF-19 to be the best cooling pad but its not powered by usb and most of the others doesnt feel comfortable on the lap so iwent with the cooler master x3. its suppose to be comfortable on the lap and alot of people notices their temp decrease in gaming after use.

    Not sure what kind of software suggestions you're looking for but some of the common ones I install after a fresh windows install are:

    7zip
    VLC
    Firefox
    Skype
    MSI Afterburner
    Steam
    Utorrent
    MSE
    Malwarebytes

    Probably more i'm forgetting.
