    When I use the laptop on my lap I'm blocking the vents under the middle of the notebook where I think the processor may be as the processor seems to heat up quite a bit. I'm going to get a cooler for this problem but need help deciding between the coolermaster x-lite and the coolermaster u2. Which would be better for the Y470 when its on my lap. Any help is much appreciated and its pretty urgent.

    coolermaster u2

    coolermaster x-lite
    Newegg.ca - Cooler Master NotePal X-Lite Notebook Cooler Model R9-NBC-XLIT-GP

    I'd suggest the Notepal U2 as you can adjust the two fans to match the two vent areas at the bottom of the y470.

    Thanks so much for the reply!

    So I guess its the U2 then. One more question, would the u2 be usable on my lap, i.e would the fans rest on my lap as I have no idea how much distance the fans would be to my lap according to the incline of the cooler.

    That part I'm not sure about as I don't have one myself. Perhaps somebody who's actually used one can comment?
