Hi all

I finally ordered a new MBP and have been reading these forums until it gets here. I have seen the laptop coolers that are basically a laptop stand with fans. Do these actually work?

Are there any laptop coolers that use something more powerful? Like liquid cooling for example? Since the new MBPs are a giant heat sink, this would probably keep it nice and cold. My concern is condensation and it may affect the battery. Also, does aluminum contract under low temperatures?

My current computer has a motherboard which has a heat sink and fan on its northbridge chip. I have noticed that during the winter, it makes noise when it starts up but gradually goes away.

This post is more about curiosity though.
Thanks
