Default Cooling Pad?


I am looking for a cooling pad, No price range, Just one that will keep my computer cooler than what it is now.

I was looking at This because of the mesh screen and its design.

What do you think/recommend.

mostly, any cooling pad will work for notebooks, just be sure to have at least 2 fans in the cooling fan or more it would probably be better. Some of the cooling pads are around $10 which is probably enough already.

I have had issues in the past with lower priced equipment, I was looking at that Targus one and It looks pretty well manufactured, and I like Targus. but I just want one that does the Job.

Thank you.

I'll betcha they charge extra for it because it's "for Mac." Here's a few ones I've been looking at myself:
Amazon.com: Eforcity Chill Pad Laptop Dual Fan...Amazon.com: Eforcity Chill Pad Laptop Dual Fan... Amazon.com: Kinamax FAN-NTP3 Business Notebook...Amazon.com: Kinamax FAN-NTP3 Business Notebook... Amazon.com: Cooling Pad withUSB Hub, Card Reader,...Amazon.com: Cooling Pad withUSB Hub, Card Reader,... Amazon.com: USB Powered Slim smart NoteBook...Amazon.com: USB Powered Slim smart NoteBook...
That last one is just awesome, and second to last for bragging rights. First two are most realistic.

Newegg.com - Cooler, Laptop Accessories, Laptops & Accessories, PCs & Laptops

just go look through here. $10-$30 coolers are enough, most of the things are the same.. only designs are a bit different.

mac or no mac, the fan just uses one usb to power it.. no programs need Locke

Programs? When did I say anything about programs? If you're talking about my comment on the Mac branding, that's all it is: branding. If they sell it "for Mac," they can reap greater profits from those who are uber-iSheep more easily.

Yeah I like that third one with the HDD enclosure, I dont need it though with my new 4TB mini-server. But cool Concept.
I like the Targus one because the entire are the laptop sits on is open allowing more of the laptop to cool, unlike the sections with the ones whos air hole are in certain spots, and That last one is just way to flashy for me

That Targus does look nice but I am thinking of just grabbing this one:

Amazon.com: Belkin F8N044-SLV CushTop Notebook...Amazon.com: Belkin F8N044-SLV CushTop Notebook...
My ideal choice is one that is good for resting on the lap. My notebook actually only gets a little warm in the keyboard but nothing bad.
