Not so much hardware [Archive] - ForumsHQ

[IslaScotts]

Ok... this is not really hardware... nor is it software... it is an accessory. I was wondering if anyone has used one of those usb coolers for laptops... or one of those lap "tables" that you put your notebook on and it lifts it up a bit to help vent the heat (and makes it easier to lay in bed with your laptop heheh.) My laptop gets super hot because of the use of it for sometimes 24-36 hours straight (yes that requires no sleeping on my part, and yes I have been known to do that if I got a project zipping through my head.) I use it for work and at home. I am wondering if I should spend the 30 bucks or not for this. Because if it ain't gonna work I ain't got 30 bucks to throw away. I could buy 2 1/5 diaper jumbo packs for that! Or 12 packs of cigarettes! Also any advice for extra components for a laptop that you discovered you cannot live without would be nice too!

Works great. mine was $10 after rebate, you might want to wait for a deal, i'm not sure it's worth $30
