How do I choose a cooling pad for my laptop?

Asked by julia999 (343points) November 1st, 2011

Due to my laptop overheating, I’m considering getting a cooling pad like this:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Notebook-Laptop-Cooling-Pad-Cooler-Fan-Stand-w-USB-Hub-/310312927118?pt=AU_Components&hash=item4840177f8e#ht_6138wt_945

The left side of my laptop (a HP Pavillion dv7) gets VERY hot, and even though most of the hot air exits from the left vent, there are also fans on the underside of the laptop.

Does anyone have some advice on whether the cooling pad above would be any good?

I love the fact that it props the laptop on an angle as well.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
