I did a search, and 90% of the threads about this are as old as 2009. It's time for a recap.
So, how are you attempting to cool down your laptop?
- Let's hear from people who are sitting with it on their lap.
- Let's hear from those who have it mounted on their desk.
- What do you do if you're taking it on public transportation (like I will be doing)?
I was looking at some of the items on Apples own store, but the idea of another plate beneath the mbp doesn't sound useful to me.
Then I came across some of the feet that you can buy. They elevate the laptop giving it more space to get rid of the hot air. Very useful for working on a desktop, but this seems a bit off when dealing with lap work.
At the moment I'm looking at this:
ChillDesk MiniXL.
But again there's the part with the feet. Although they do use graphics showing that it works will on the lap.
I need more tips here, and I guess a lot of you out there do as well.
Edit: Found a year old review of the chilldesk:
Hardware heaven.
I think that pretty much persuaded me to go ahead and get this... atleast until someone else comes with some nice ideas
5-7 degress sounds nice.
