whats the poiont of a stand other than making it run cooler? does it make typing and general use more comfy? I couldnt imagine carrying around a stand with it. Where in cgy do you buy one?

I use a notebook cooler with my home laptop. Keeps the laptop about 10 degrees cooler than without a cooler, or just keeping it level. Works awesome.

I dont know, you shouldnt have to buy a cooler just to get better performance when already spending $xxxx on the laptop itself. But Im always trying to find ways to make it more comfy to use if there is anyways and without breaking the bank.

[blinkme_210]

I don't actually use the laptop keyboard or mousepad, so there's no comfort issue there. I have it hooked up to a regular keyboard and mouse.

Yeah, some docking stations are for ultraportables or big laptops that want to minimize weight. Some have external keyboard/mouse connectors, extra USB ports, Firewire, etc. They are pretty handy.

I notice alot of ppl doing this, carrying around an extra keyboard and mouse to use. i agree the laptop one isnt the most comfy for long hours hehe

Well a laptop is going to make a lot of heat no matter what. My laptop has a fan blowing hot air out of the side, back and bottom and it still gets so hot. For the first two hours of use its fine but after that it starts to get so hot my hands start to cook haha.

Does anyone know where these coolers are sold? I need one bad.

my laptop cooler is a novel that i prop my laptop on :D

You can find them at London Drugs. There's a couple versions, a flip-up version, another one similiar to in the picture and one that plugs into an open USB port (not needed) which has 3 small fans on the bottom.

ya i can just see myself carrying around a laptop cooler to school everyday in my bag LOL

[blinkme_210]

That's why I use the Centrino notebook for school, and the AMD64 one for home.
