    Hello,

    I'm looking for a laptop cooler for my sxps 16. I have read a few posts about this and everyone seems to be agreeing that the zalman nc2000 is the best. However, I don't want to spend that kind of money. I'm looking for a cooler that's around 30$ whose fans are in the rear. Also, I use my laptop in bed a lot and would like a cooler that allows me to continue doing this (i.e. vents on the sides as opposed to on the bottom).

    Thanks!

    i agree with rocking23nf. i would go for the Zalman from Memory Express now, it's practically half-off.

    i personally went for the NotePal U2, as it's much more travel friendly (easy to pack and use in hotels). it's also pretty decent for use on the couch or in bed, as you can remove the fans.

    I use this, it's pretty simple, the best thing about it is that you can use it on a bed or couch as the air intake is at the back.
