    I'm really impressed with Meritline. Free shipping AND they sent it Fedex.

    Mine arrived a few days ago. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it looks really good from what I can tell.

    GREAT service from Meritline. Fast shipping...and free. :)

    Used it on my last business trip. Worked great with my Toshiba U405D. I didn't take temps but the fan came on a lot less than normal.

    GREAT value for the money.

    Doesn't this one draw heat away from your laptop? Could hurt a notebook.

    What? How could removing heat from a laptop hurt it?

    i think he meant the direction of air flow. if your air-in vents are on the bottom of your laptop and the notebook cooler draws air away from the bottom, then it could potentially be harmful for the computer.
