Oh I know what you mean.. It's called SpeedBalls.
It's not that effective,it just lift your laptop and allow hot air to come out..

You can get it at Notebookshop for RM45.

Btw,how much did you paid for that and where did you get that?

owh.. its called SpeedBalls. thanks for telling me the name. i was looking for tat thing without knowing its name.. But after u said it not so effective in cooling the lappie, i prefer to buy other cooler laptop la.. i found some name of the cooler lappie tat i wan to buy.. the brand is Jetart Xcool, Vantec Lapcool2 and A1pro. nyone can made a comparison? i really need y'all opinion.. thanks in advance..

Well,I've used 3 coolerpad before. First one is a chaplang one,then Vantec Lapcool 2 and now Jetart Xcool.

Comparison between Jetart and Vantec,I'll say get Jetart.
It is foldable and is much protable for travelling.Though it's plastic,but it pretty strong I would say.
Performance wise,it's pretty good,2 fans are located at the middle.Back of the coolerpad has some sort or stand which lift the laptop.Underneath the coolerpad,theres 2 compartments for storing the USB cable.On/Off switch is located at the right side of the coolerpad.As for the controller for the speed,it's located at the back.Besides that,it's got a rubber pad which holds your laptop preventing it from slipping.Power consumption wise is 1.0W. As for the fan speed,it spins at 1800 - 2500RPM.
Main thing is that it has to draw the hot air from the laptop and allow it to come out.

As for the Vantec,though it spins at faster RPM,i think 2800RPM but it does not draw the heat out which the temp. still remains the same.

wah, a very good opinion from a pro. thanks for the info bro. i really appreciate it..
i think i will go for Jetart Xcool. Btw, where did u buy it? can i know the price? thanks.

i'm looking for a cooler also... after looking at the coolermaster notepal.. i found out that the design is not very suitable for my lappie... HP DV6126.. the front of the notepal will block the speaker output plug..

is there any other cooler that is suitable for my laptop?? thanx

Hello. Just wanna know about the DIY cooler. How come don't want to use aluminium?Is it because it's expensive? or the acrylic material much better?

I was thinking of doing it myself. So, before get the stuff, would like to know about it.

Well,you could get it from Midvalley.
I can't remember which shop is it but as you walk in IT world,walk straight till you see a shop facing you,that should be the one.

If you had read my previous post,you will know how I describe my Jetart Xcool.It's you're best bet for a coolerpad.Check it out.

I have yet to have time to post the photos of it so got some of this from the net.
One great plus is that it's pretty much portable as it's foldable which I find it very useful and light when travelling.
