Laptop cooling options

[hadrian7]

I just recently received my gaming laptop from Dell and of course it pumps out a lot of heat. I've been looking for some colling solutions 3rd party external and I was turning to the Tom's hardware crowd for suggestions. It's the 17" wide screen version. One thing I've found so far is http://www.xoxide.com/evercool-np-501-black.html but I don't know if it's worth the money. Any suggestions are welcome.

I recently purchased something similar (same price) for my Sony laptop and it works wonders for both my leggs and the machine!

I've heard that the Coolermaster Notepal W1 does work for 17", but it's a bit precarious. I'm not sure, but the new Notepal Infinite model seems to be much better in terms of actual laptop support, so try checking that out.
