ZALMAN Ultra Quiet Notebook Cooler Model ZM-NC1500-W

Pros: Extremely quiet, and sleek design.

Cons: The cooler sits at an angle, say 20 degrees or so. with nothing to prevent the laptop from sliding right off of it. since it's at an angle, gravity is of course in the mix, no lip to keep the laptop sitting still when you walk away from it. So i knocked one egg off.

Pros: My laptop would overheat while gaming. Now it stays cool to the touch, with no overheat issues at all. i dont feel any heat on the keyboard like i do without a cooler. I also have a Zalman 2000 model. This cools just as good and is cheaper.

Cons: The controls are in the back and a little inconvienent to get to when the laptop is open. The 2000 model has the controls are on the side, easier to access. The legs on this one dont fold in like the 2000 model, but I dont carry this one around so its not a problem.

Other Thoughts: The 4 rating is only for the controls and legs. I am not positive the controls and folding legs on the 2000 model warrent the extra expense. Both cool well. I would buy either of these again.
