    actually, it works quite well. my friend has one and it dropped his gpu temps by 5-8 degrees under load. some laptop coolers actually block the intake's and just blow air around the laptop. the only con i see is the price, but this product is built for up to 17 inch sized laptops and it does work. i might actually pick one up next summer.

    I use the Xpad which is fanless. Works pretty good for a passive solution.

    I use the Zalman. It's a very quiet and effective laptop cooler, and in its design, I like its modern look. Overall, it's a very good product, and one that many people recommend for a notebook cooler. Personally, I would go for fanned notebook coolers as I tend not to believe in the effectiveness of fanless notebook coolers, but I've never owned one before, so I can't be quite sure of it's true capabilities.

    I've got a Zalman that I bought on everybody's recommendation. I can't say if it's the best only because I don't have anything to compare it too.
    I always run the fans at max, as the ambient noise in my room blocks out any sound coming from them. But with my laptop running basically in idle for the past hour or so, the HD is sitting at 86 degrees F, and the CPU is 109 Degrees F.
    That's with a 160G 7200RPM HD and T7700.
    I have on occasion packed the cooler to take on the road if I plan on running the PC for an extended period of time. Other times I just prop the back of the laptop up on a couple of 1/2" risers to allow more airflow.
