Suggestions on a laptop cooler

by Tronman161 Apr 29, 2009 7:18AM PDT

Hi all,

I'm looking for suggestions on a notebook cooler.
Some of the features I'm looking for are:

1) As thin as possible
2) Ventilation ports on the side (not underneath other wise they would be blocked sitting on my lap)
3) Quiet and Lightweight
4) Small, my notebook is only about 30cm wide by 22cm long...so something that fits it snugly.
5) Shippable to Canada

A USB hub would be nice but hardly necessary.

The closest one I'm looking at this is:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834981001

But I'm a tad put off the negative comments. If anyone has a suggestion, let me know!

Thanks.

Tronman ? I think you?re on the right track here. The product you?ve got listed there looks pretty good, but the negative comments are a bit cautioning.

Personally, that USB hub inclusion would be great as I can never seem to stop finding things that require a USB hub.

I?d just keep an eye out on New Egg or at Fry?s if you?ve got one near and go with your gut.

Cheers,

Nice choice!

Awesome! Make sure to post your thoughts about it in here after you get it. I?m actually in the market for a new cooling pad as well.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion, but I rejected that one before because of the other side of the fan on the bottom...plus I wanted something flat to be comfortable on my lap Happy

Thanks again.
