I have a HP latop, most of you that have a lot of knowledge of computers will know that it is basically like having a fucking oven sitting on my lap baking my balls...
So a while back I bought Belkin cooling pad. The pads design was awesome with the curve in it, it kept my laptop cool and my balls frosty... but the cord coming out of the center of the bottom, and the fan not being protected both caused problems... The usb cord started to short from being pulled, and the fan blades starting to break off so when I used it it was loud and annoying. It didn't last long, but it was great for the time it did.
Today I decided to buy a new one, but I can't even find a picture or link to show the piece of shit on here... Basically it is flat with 2 fans, and what really sold me was the cushions on the bottom... but as I said it is a piece of shit. My laptop was getting hotter than ever, and I can't even feel the pad blowing air (yes, the fans are running, I see and hear them).
I was trying to play Ren a while ago, but I was getting like 4 FPS (normally get 60 easy)... then my laptop shut off (assuming overheated).
Does anyone have any suggestions for a laptop cooling pad that you know for sure is durable and actually cools the laptop?

And as it is called a laptop I think it should be used without problems in someone's lap... otherwise they should just call it a mobile desktop.

Usually when it comes to portable computer specifications, there are four areas they fall in.
The lowest spec 'laptops' available are called Netbooks. Netbooks are alot smaller than regular portable computers, they also have smaller screens, smaller net weight and generally lower spec components. Asus and their EeePC series dominates the majority of the market here.
The next level up are Laptops. Laptops currently outsell desktop computers today, due to their portability and weight. There are other variations of these which have more complex hinge designs to allow the screen to be flipped around and lie flat on the keyboard, which are often called Tablet PCs.
The last level is the highest spec systems and are often called Notebooks. Most of the time these will fall under the category of laptops, however can sometimes be incorrect. Notebooks are similar in spec to desktop computers in terms of performence, and can usually set you back a few thousand <<insert national currency here>>. Most of them are able to play most games and graphically intense applications that are available today, due to their isolated (and sometimes removable/upgradable) GPUs and CPUs. They're also able to take and support alot more RAM and possibly up to 3 additional hard drives.
Besides the education i've just supplied to you, most portable computers use their case as the heatsink, so yes, they will get hot, and burn your balls. Try putting it on a desk, or on a tray before putting it on your lap.
