I use a 974 page FreeBSD book. If I don't, the Evo N610c will burn my lap! I have a scar to prove it!
Doesn't that weigh a ton?
A couple low tech solutions
1. Cookie sheet (or some people call it bakers paper???)
2. Cookie board (the hollow aluminum ones)

I've tried the commercial laptop coolers. They work OK if the laptop is sitting on a desk. They don't help at all if it is sitting on bare legs as mine does.
really? that targus looked pretty good for that. oh well, cross that off the list. :D
I have not tried that Targus model. Running fans from my notebook will shorten it's already short run time between battery charges.

On idle, with the Antec fan base, the processor sits at 39C, and the Radeon GPU at 40C. That's after six hours of uptime.
On idle, without the Antec fan base, the processor sits at 44C, and the Radeon GPU at 46C. Also after six hours of uptime.
On 100% load, with the Antec fan base, the processor sits at 44C, and the Radeon GPU at 46C. Also after six hours of uptime.

so it seems to help with cooling, definitely. can it be used comfortably on the lap, though?
Well, you are stuck with a hot lap anyways, so I think anything would be more comfortable :p
