as others previously mention,
choose the wan dat can align properly with ur notebook's vent...if posible the cooler cover entire surface of ur bottom part of ur notebook...between zalman n infinite...both is good i think (only seen n test zalman b4..infinite not yet)...if budget constraint...infinite (like kapitan said) is cheaper than zalman...

Can the Zalman NC-1000 fit a Dell Inspiron 1520 (15.4")? How's the coolers performance? Any other recommendations besides Zalman? Also how much is the price for the NC-1000?

yesterday i was at Section 14 PJ IT Mall and bought 2 nos. of the above cooler (one for my new vostro and one for my brother in law) for only RM9.90 each (anoeplus member price and joined for RM10). Most shops there selling for RM15 which i thought was cheap. My son who is using a Inspiron 5100 which gets hot very fast saw it and wanted it. With the cooler the heat from the Inspiron 5100 is reduced substantially. Going to buy another one soon.

go get zalman la..i having the infinite okok only the power

yep, suggest a zalman.
my friend was using cooler master, and at the end...

table fan > laptop cooler.

yalo..me too..using stand fan at the end..laptop cooler doesnt really help much de.

Tip for Cooler master notepal users: removed the steel mash/grill from the fan with just a screw driver. My reason? anything in the path of the fan reduces air flow. Increase air flow = improved cooling

Is there any people can introduce some New cooling pad? I am looking for one now... Thank Q

why do u need a coolong pad? my 1520 warm all the way... *BLUSH*

it's because the laptop is warm.. we need the laptop cooler to cool it down... ^__^

Infinite is cheaper than Zalman, so think carefully what you want.
Of course I demo'ed Zalman before deciding to buy Infinite.

Few things that made up my mind..

1. Base must be larger than laptop. Zalman barely covers the whole IIRC, but Infinite does it with ease.

2. Intake is from the rear side, not from bottom as most tend to be. This allowed me to put the laptop cooler on my laps/bed without worrying about overheating.

3. Weight. Its so light that like another forumer said, cheap el stock but I like it cos I do use it on my laps.

Zalman has the edge in noise, air flow and design... but I dont need all that.

zalman nc-1000
been using it for few months n so satisfied with it
even after gaming oso don see too significant rise of temperature
if ur laptop is bigger, like 15" or 17"
den go for nc-2000 la
nc-1000 just ngam2 fit for my vostro 1400
same width

p/s: i used those rm9.90 before and their performance just drop after 1 or 2 months
fan lifetime also lower i think
but who cares rite, it's just rm9.90

i'll get zalman rm159 or maybe cooler master rm109 just because i love my lappy...............

I bought a Taiwan made Vizo Ninja. I skipped Cooler Master Notepal bcoz it blocks my lappy front panel IO and audio jacks plus the metal plate is not flat enough even some ppl may say it's kind of "design" but I don't buy it. The feel of Vizo Ninja aluminium plate looks more solid & cool especially if it keeps inside the air condition room for long hours. 2000rpm fans are silent & it manage to bring down a few degree 'C of my hot lappy. However if I on it for over night downloading I will put an extra cooling fan beside the primary air vent holes to keep it even cooler bu sucking out the hot air in massive way As a result the average HDD temperature is 39'C & CPU is around 50'C or lower... However personally I don't feel very much different between a cheapo plastic made 3-LED-fans cooling pad or with an expensive ~100rm range one like CM Notepal or even this Vizo Ninja, probably because of my AcerTM6292 primary air vent design & location. Without these cooling gadget it will be fried-an-egg hot.

How bad can a 17" (Inspiron 1720) fit on a Zalman NC-1000? NC-2000 is RM55 more expensive, reaching RM200 already. Anything else that will fit nicely on a 17" and have good performance. More importantly the price of course.

an 17" can't fit on a NC-1000..its way too big..sorry to say, but u have to use the nc2000..lots of ppl based on other forums prefer using zalman's compared to cooler master..but i want to know, how heavy is the nc2000? does anybody know?

Added on June 28, 2008, 11:51 pmoh ya,the efficiency of the cooler depends on where the air vents are in ur laptop..take for example, the m1530..since its fan and air vents are at the bottem, then the zalman is perfect for it since it blows air into the vents..so buy a cooler based on ur laptop design
