    Looking for some advise on what cooler to buy for a Macbook. What are you using? Looking at a Vantec LapCooler 2 at Newegg. Is this a good cooler and will the Macbook fit alright on it for good cooling.

    I dont own a mac book but before you buy a cooler make sure the fan vent is not covered by the cooler body.

    I have a Targus Lap Desk, it doesn't have any fans but leaves a gap between the laptop and the desk for better air circulation,...this works for me...

    I have the Targus notebook cooler, it has two fans on it and on the back of the cooler is a big vent where the air is blown out of.

    It works fairly well, dropped temperature about 3-5C

    Any body else. What cooler are you using does not matter what notebook you have. Looking for a good cooler to buy.
