Best lap top cooler.

post #1 of 5

Thread Starter 
Just wondering what the best lap top cooler is. My girl has an Asus gaming lap top that she used to play WoW with me on. Her lap top would get fairly warm but not to bad.

Now we've started playing Star Trek Online but that game makes her lap top scorch.

Any suggestions on the best lap top cooler?

I sell a few of these at work, and I highly recommend the Logitech N100 and this Belkin one. The Belkin one is fairly cheap but the shape of it actually makes it pretty effective.

For the Logitech: Quote: "PC and Mac® notebooks with up to a 15.6-inch display." If you have a 15.6" Gaming laptop thats fine. But if you have a 17" this is gonna look like the S.S. Minnow trying to be the tug boat for a Supertanker. Not a good picture.
As for the Belkin. These are some of the most effective coolers i have seen. Have one for my IBM and one for my brothers Second Gateway. Problem. The Legs that fold down on these are made of very poorly designed plastic and will break easily under the weight of a big gaming laptop(its why I have the Thermaltake now). Even on a 15" I worry about it.

Both of these were very good suggestions. I just don't feel that they would be big enough and/or durable enough for a big 17" Gaming Laptop. That is of course if thats what your Girlfriend has. You have some specs on that Laptop? It may help get whats best for you.
