Default Cooling Pad for Laptop
What is the best cooling pad for a laptop? I have an HP notebook with a P4 and it runs HOT! Thanks for the advice.

ZALMAN ZM-NC1000 ULTRA QUIET NOTEBOOK COOLER Review

Quote:
Pros:

* Solid aluminum construction of the notebook platform.
* Centrifugal fans provide quiet and even air distribution.
* USB powered with an extra USB2.0 port.
* Adjustable fan control with on/off switch.

Cons:

* High Speed makes more noise than the laptop without a cooler.

I have an X-Pad that works pretty well.

http://www.xpad4laptop.com/

Edit:

Pros - relatively cheap, silent & no power draw since there's no fan, fits a 17" laptop just fine, non-skid, light, thin, acts as a barrier between the hot laptop and your lap, works regardless of surface

Cons - Doesn't really "cool" per se. It just allows the stock cooling fan to draw more fresh air. My lap a little hot, but not nearly as bad as the laptop directly on my lap

Laptop cooling mat
I'm wondering what people think of this? Can't find any specs or reviews on it, but seems really cheap, and could be combined with other solutions in theory

i have the thermaltake version of that, it doesnt so much cool your laptop as keeps your legs from burning. i got it for 1 dollar after rebate, but i dont know if i would pay 14bucks for it (converting roughly in my head).

I bought my dad one of these while back

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834999850

Does the job and it's really cheap, his laptop used to get real hot now it stays cool to the touch.

EDIT: The first review on newegg says it's bad, but I find it works fine with his Toshiba satalite A210-198 ;l
