I'm quite happy with my Antec notebook cooler with two 70mm (i believe) fans and a usb connector that has a passthru so you don't lose a USB slot to the cooler itself.

i don't know exactly how much it cools my laptop, but it has prevented Far Cry from crashing ever since I started using it.

I thought I read somewhere that some companies have a notebook cooler that also doubles as a battery? I like that concept, is there any truth to it?

Wouldn't enlarging the fans in the cooler allow them to reduce the fan speed while keeping the same amount of airflow if not a little bit more?

I forgot to mention the Antec cooler is pretty quiet too.

WELL,
lets see..
Adding fans, means you need Power from someplace. Where to get it, and KEEP the unit Portable?
Add extra Batteries and you get WEIGHT...Isnt that what portable was ment to Lower?
Adding enough fans, and FLOW to keep it cool will suck up MORE power.
Need more batteries... MORE weight.

And you end up Charging 2 sets insted of 1.
Its neither Small nor Light...

And consider the NAME tag given...LAP TOP... All that I see, are vented DOWN...
Wouldnt Venting to the Sides be better for your LAP???
As Long as you use it on a Surface, I see alot of these will work, but blocking the Fan intakes/outakes with your LAP, I dont think is a good thing..

The laptops that I work with at work and at home (IBM A2x, T2x, T40 and X2x) all seem to expell the hot air out the sides or the back of the laptop... but the source of air can come from the opposite side, another back vent, or from small openings on the bottom.

A fair number of the Seiger-like laptops have fans at the bottom of the laptop... though it seems to suck in air or expell air depending on the model it seems.

Although I didn't see it in the review (or I could have missed it), but does the cooler blow air up towards the laptop or does it suck it and expell it out of the sides of the cooler? The former would probably be more effective for most laptops.

Now I didn't say to add additional fans, but if they can make the ones in the cooler larger, spin them at a lower speed, they could in theory get about the same CFM but also with a little less noise.

Last note, on the second page of the review, I saw:
The net temperature reduction was -6.1 degrees on Thermometer 1 and -5.6 on Thermometer 2.

Shouldn't that sentence say:
The net temperature reduction was 6.1 degress on Thermometer 1 and 5.6 on Thermometer 2.

Since a reduction of a negative number is the same as adding it's absolute value, i.e.:

a + b == a - (-b)
