    yeah some drivers need to whip more than their fans blades if they are smoking in the truck. Like the air vents in truck and such when I think about bad air all I cant think about is idle air or what use to be. Those dam nasty machines sucked though i would use it to save energy some time

    They sell cooling fans for laptops. They have them for just about any budget. It is a good idea to get one if you can.

    I always set something about 1/2 inch thick under the back edge of mine to allow more air to circulate under the bottom side and thru the ventilation slots in the bottom. I wish it had a couple little stubby folding legs built into it to do this.

    In order to solve your cooling problem you will need to remove the bottom shell and physicaly wipe your fan and sorrounding components and blow it out with canned air if your a smoker use a little bit uf rubbing alcohol to remove the tar

    Since no one else will ask, I will. What the hell is a "lab top?" A hat for a golden retriever?
