Laptop Cooling Pad

I'm looking to buy a cooling pad for my 17.3" laptop. This is the only one I've found so far that will fit for it, so I'm wondering if it will work, and does anyone know of other ones that would work for a 17 inch laptop.

Thanks.

Depends on the fan in your laptop. If it's weak then yeah i might cool it down some. If your laptop is always in your lap. I found that a half inch thick and 3 inch long wood block, place under the battery slot or somewhere away from the fan and air intake slots to be the best way of getting more air around the fan to cool it. Since laptop are suppose to be on your laps... i can see this being ok if your not maxing out the cpu or doing anything to make the computer word harder like playing a game or video editing.

find one with an big fan in the pannel (cool the best and cools an big field under the laptop)
but the one that you foud is an good one but there are cheaper moddels with the same specifications

I personally use a Zalman one:

Just check your dimensions.


Also, these cooling pads are going to be nearly useless if your laptop doesn't suck in air from its bottom (Many I've seen suck it in from the sides).
