I bought a POS laptop from Circuit City for college. It had severe overheating problems and Circuit City wanted to take 30% of the purchase price as a restocking fee, which I couldn't afford. So I kept the awful bottom of the line (Averatec brand) laptop. (Never heard of it? Didn't think so. There's a reason.)
The Antec external cooler SAVED me. (The Targus brand cooler is better, but more expensive).
Amazon has a great price on the Antec, $12. When I needed the cooler, I had to rush out to Best Buy and sink $25-30 for the Antec or $40-50 for the Targus.
The Antec and the Targus both have a life expectancy of one year (in my experience... if you get a dud, it can be less...) FYI Targus has a good warranty and will be helpful in making an exchange of your dud for a working cooler.
If you've already sunk your money in a craptascular laptop, then a cooler might be a good idea. If you haven't purchased your laptop yet, you might consider buying a laptop without an overheating problem. Or at least don't buy your laptop from Circuit City.Get more detail about Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler.
