Where it says "cool it down by up to 20 degrees" -- is that 20 degrees Celsius, or Fahrenheit? Anirvan 22:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with "cooler pad"?[edit]

I think this page should be merged with the page for "cooler pad" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.232.110.55 (talk • contribs)

Advertisement.[edit]

This whole article reads like an Advertisement...--149.171.232.113 (talk) 23:39, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

removed the offending section, it reads like an advertisement due to its direct links to the product website with in the text, + the 'source' for the 9F cooling is not exactly a reliable resource since its is just a review from one person. --149.171.232.113 (talk) 23:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Further arguments against the CNET review: it does not secify how they measured the temperature, nor did they repeat the experiment (or at least they didn't tell us if they did). They did a "Multitasking test" But the article does not explain how/what that consists of (nor is it readily available on that page). Degrees? Fahrenheit I assume... really sloppy there as it can be degrees centigrade or Fahrenheit. --149.171.232.113 (talk) 23:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed vague paragraph[edit]

I removed this:

Studies conducted by California Polytechnic University show that heat build-up in notebooks is reduced by 15 to 20 percent, when a laptop is situated at an angle compared to a laptop in a horizontal position. Free air cooling which is a passive method and requires no additional power has been proven as an effective method of laptop cooling.^{[citation needed]} Many coolers that utilise this passive method are also available.

A laptop computer can even be cooled effectively by placing a blue-ice pack under it, tilting the laptop and, at the same time, absorbing the heat.

No references about this study, no angle mentioned at which this is achieved, not clear what 'free air cooling' is (is it the same as the university study or what?). The blue-ice thing is advice to the reader; that is not Wikipedia's job. There are so many issues with this section that removal seemed the best thing to me.

Page overhaul[edit]

This page is hardly Wikipedian at all. Could anybody give it a makeover? 94.172.114.173 (talk) 14:23, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification[edit]

There would need a paragraph that these coolers are only needed because of bad design by laptop manufacturers or because of clogged vents. Mainly all laptops are not modified after buying so the default cooling should cope with any heat load. Laptops are meant to be held on lap so the cooling must not be beneath. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.110.181.186 (talk) 12:05, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
