Laptop coolers - do you have one? do they work?
 

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 have never heard of one, But I know I need one ;)

Ive owned about 5 different ones,this is the one that works.

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

Looks good :pimp

tried that one looked really cool but didnt seem to cool as well as the bytecc

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.
