    Hey guys,

    do any of you guys use laptop cooler for the m14x? ive been searching for a good laptop cooler that can both be used for cooling the 14x and for playing some games on my bed. but most of the good laptop cooler doesnt allow you to use the cooler on your lap.

    I need all of your suggestion. i came accros the logitech lapdesk n700 but the color turned me off.

    I use the N700 for my old Sony Vaio laptop, the one u came across, I don mind the colour though, as long as it cool the laptop down, but dont know if it will do the same thing with M14x.

    But one of my mate use the N100 for his M11x which he said it done a very good job, but I didnt ask what the temp on his M11x, however he did mention that the keyboard and the touchpad rarely get hot when gaming, but the N100 is cooler only, unlike N700 is a cooler and stereo speaker combo, I use it with the Sony Vaio, and I dont think I will use it with my M14x though.

    I hear good things about cooler master U2. You can move the fans right underneath the M14x vents.

    I have this and it's cool because you can move the fans to the designated area you want :p

    I hope the next version you can adjust the speed of the fans also.

    I've just ordered the Macally Tunefan and should be receiving it next week. I hope it's worth the price tag.

    I have someone stand next to my desk (or the couch) and fan me with a giant palm leaf. I'm not sure if it's helping the laptop at all, but it sure makes me comfy.

    Even though I have the M11x, I recommend this as well. The U2 should be perfect for the M14x.

    I have two people stand next to my desk and fan me with giant palm leaves. One of them fans me and the other fans the laptop. You can adjust the person to be strategically located near the laptop fan.

    Search for "Emperor Cooler P2" on Amazon. The P3 version also comes with a massage specialist to reduce gaming-induced muscular tension. The P4 Elite comes with a cook so you won't have to make your on instant noodles between raids/games.
