    im looking at either the Cool Master SF-19 or Cool Master A200

    out of the two, which one would you or could you prefer. i feel like the sf-19 looks appealing but rather bulky and that it needs be plugged in a wall. vs the a200 design, looks rather sleek and more comfortable to carry around with. both have 2x 140mm fans. i just need some feedback please. thanks in advance.:hi2:

    The SF-19 works, period. Even on low-medium fan speed it still cools my laptop like crazy, probably due to its two giant 140mm fans.

    The others? Well, I tested the U3 and another cooler master plate ages ago that didn't do anything at all other than waste my money.

    If you plan on staying mobile, the SF-19 is, of course, irrelevant. But in that case, I think you might as well just forget about any other cooler because the others I've tried were completely useless to me with two different laptops.

    So basically, what I'm saying is - yeah, go with the SF-19. Oh, and I don't use those silly LEDs or the USB hub, I just wanted something to help cool my laptop, which it most certainly does.

    I just ordered the zalman nc2000nt ultra slim. I did a lot of research and it seems the u3 is just too big unless you don't have a desktop and your laptop is your desktop and doesn't go anywhere really. I was also looking into the regular zalman nc2000 but I need something portable and the nt is quieter, cheaper, and cools just as well and is newer.

    I would order that if I were you.

    I just ordered a laptop cooler at a cheap price from flipkart and it works really well and I do not have any issues with it. You can try out this which has a simple design also.
