    I want to buy a notebook/laptop cooler for the S13, however I'm not too sure it will work properly.
    I've looked at pictures and seen a few videos and from what I saw I noticed the vent exhaust is on the back end bottom of the device.
    I'm concerned with the air from the cooler being pushed in while the laptop tries to push it out air from the exhaust at the same time.

    Has anyone had experience using a cooler with the S13? I did a search and didn't find any related posts. Also, would a 15in cooler work with it? Any recommendations?

    Lastly, to clean the fans, must I fully disassemble the laptop?

    Bump.
    Any advice or at least tips on how to keep the laptop cool would help.

    Maybe I should have asked in the Accessories forum. Could a mod please move this so I don't have to make another thread and clutter?

    i'm using a CoolerMaster NotePal U2 which has two moveable fans to cool my VAIO SA. but the SA has two intake vents under the laptop, whereas S13/S13A has its intake vents on the side. i don't know how you can push cool air into the laptop with that vent placement.
