are there vents beneath the laptop? if no, it is like you cant decrease the temperature. and the cooler is too large for your laptop.

and crucial has slower writing speed than plextor do. only the read speed is about the same.

hi bro. please help me.
1) Preferred Brand : Asus/Acer/Lenovo
2) Budget : RM1000-RM1100
3) Usage : Light gaming like dota n facebook games, watch movies, browse internet, and use to do a lot of assignment.
4) Preferred Laptop/Netbook screen size : The smaller, the better.
5) Additional : Prefer 2gb/4gb RAM and long battery life.

no, my mean is if there are no vents beneath your laptop, so it is unlikely for the dell to absorb cool air.

so the cooler pad is useless? So which cooler pad should I buy or what is the best way to decrease the temperature of the laptop

cant consider it is kinda useless. sometimes it does work well if you know how to position it. are you positioning your dell at the fan area?

those small and light laptops cost a bomb.
they are priced RM1600 and more.
however, your choice :

Acer Aspire AOD270, Atom N2800 + Intel GMA 3650@RM1099, 2GB, 320GB, W7S, free Acer pouch, colors: red/black
ASUS Eee PC 1025CE, Atom N2800 + Intel GMA3650@RM949,2GB, 320GB(5400rpm), colors: blue/pink/purple
ASUS X201E, Intel B847 + Intel HD@RM999, 2GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 1 year

hope that helps.

thank you raymondtong94.

this is your good choice :

Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8

price is RSP and negotiable.
