Are there laptop coolers that actually produce a lot of air and make a real difference? - eviltoast

I am curious… I’ve a couple different ones, and they don’t seem to actually do a whole lot… my poor laptop could use some help

    Just raising it helps some, but in general any newer laptop draws air from below and exhausts it from the sides so a cooler on the bottom doesn’t do a lot for the laptop.

    The exception is if you are resting it on a soft surface that could block vents, like your f-ing lap! In that case any of those coolers will make a big difference in both your comfort and the laptop. On a good hard surface that will make very little difference unless your laptop vents are clogged up as others have said.
