    Hey there,

    I am looking for a cooling pad for my Dell Studio 15. It gets warm beneath the touch pad specially while playing games.

    ATM, I am thinking about Belkin F5L001 or Cooler Master Notepal Infinite. Been reading a lot of mixed reviews about them, Belkin one is half the price of Notepal but thats not a problem. I just need a good cooler.

    Could you suggest any specially meant for Studio 15 laptop or works best for this model? What do you think of the above two?

    Thanks

    Thanks, but I'd like one with the fan rather than chemical. Also, it isn't available at my place. Can you suggest any typical cooling pad for Studio 15.

    i need something EXACTLY like the iXoft but something more effective. I read a review at one place and it cooled the laptop up by 4C which isn't that good. Any suggestions?

    I use a Zalman ZM-NC2000 pad with my Studio 1555 and I *love* it. The only downside is it's 60 bucks. It's really nice though.

    iXoft is the only fan-less cooling pad available in the market ><
    I'm thinking about getting one but just wonder how much heat it will reduce, 4 degrees is a slight change...
