Anyone with a laptop use a chill pad?

It is hot enough already, and my laptop runs fairly hot. This makes me hotter and inturn even more angry at the weather.

Anyone that uses them offer brands suggestions? TIA

I have this one - BYTECC Notebook Cooling Pad. Works well enough, not quite big enough for a big 17" widescreen.

Do you plan to use this on your lap or just on a desk?

I use one because I think a fan on my video card or something croaked on my and anytime I run a graphics-intensive game, my laptop overheats and shuts off. Can't remember what brand I use, just whatever I picked up at Best Buy, but it works well enough and keeps it from overheating.

On my lap, when it is on my desk I never notice the extra heat.

The cooling pads won't work so good on your lap. Well the one I have from antec anyways. Whenever I play a lot of bf2 I use it to keep it from crashing (tried and true solution).

Only time I use one is when I'm gaming on my laptop or doing something else CPU intensive. I have some generic one I got from some random online vendor years ago. They do help keep temps from getting too crazy. Besides for the pricetag on the laptop an extra $25-$30 for a cooler is a small price for some protection.
