see title, my laptop is a little hot I thought of maybe getting a laptop cooler to cool it down a little, wanted to hear feedback from people who already got one...
thanks.

yea i use one
just a basic 25$ from best buy or whatever
i used my laptop for hours at a time and it just doesnt cool properly but the fan keeps it nice and cool

The large things with fans in them are, in my experience, worthless crap. I have a hunk of plastic, better known as a CoolPad. It holds the machine up and keeps it stable while letting it vent. I'm on my second; they replaced the first one I bought when they came out with a new model which held larger laptops better.

I have one costed me around 35$ It's a little noisy and it brings the laptop up about an inch and a half or so above the pc desk. However I can leave my laptop on all day and night without it over heating.

I just throw a pillow on my lap when things get too hot.

That's not going to help your laptop cool off.

I got one it makes a huge difference my laptop use to cook my nuts now they are cool and happy. I think mine was like $25 or something like that.

I've got the one pictured below. Seems to keep everything nice and cool and not make too much noise.

Think about it, the fans take their power from a USB connection which means they draw more current from the laptop power supply which makes it heat even more and shortens its life.
