Question

Laptop Coolers

Mar 1, 2015 8:55AM PST

I have an Alienware 17 Laptop, Its a pretty big machine, and the thing about it is that the air ducts, are at the top of the underside of the machine, and it has been very hard to find a proper cooler, with fans that can reach the top of it, most are centered. Please, any tips or products, please let me know. Thanks

Thats exactly what i need, but my laptop is such a big machine i would like for the dimensions of the cooler to meet the dimensions (H+W) of my laptop. This one you show says it supports up to a 17" Laptop, but it is only 13 inches wide where my laptop is over 16".

One of many out there.

And I've never thought it had to be any bigger than where the laptop feet were. Any how I think you need to get out the ruler. There are others but I thought I'd share one I bought.

Nice to hear you found a new direction and that's not a bad price either.
