Thread: What do you use under your laptop when using it on your lap?

Guys just wondering what you use to put under your laptop when using it on your lap, my laptop seems to get very hot and starts cooking my nuts, just wondering if you've any tips of what I could put under it, a cushion dosen't do the job....

Been searching the net for a while and I can't find anything.....

all ideas welcome..

thanks

It shouldn't get hotter than usual as beside air vents below it also has it on the side (mine does).

The only reason you notice it is because you are in direct contact with the laptop.

I've had the same question myself and I kept using a book but the result were the same.

Mines got vents on the side as well, but the processor is in the middle bottom and it gets really hot, nothing seems to do the job....(Vista cooking my laptop)

I can't find anything to do the job, even if I put the laptop down as far as my feet I can still feel it coming up through my legs.....

Out of everything I've tried I had the best results after cutting a sun shade ( like the one here - http://www.kappasphere.com/images/pr...heat_large.jpg - ) to the size of my laptop .( use it with the laminated part up ).

There you go...I gave you the ideea....start a business and call the product... NUTPAD

Lads I had the same problem for years and I found a cheap solution! I bought one of those dinner tv trays. The ones with a wood table on top and cushion on the bottom. It works perfect as when the laptop is on the tray it has the clearance it needs for the underneath fans to work. I actually have to give my gf the credit, she was afraid I was going to **** up my sperm count with the laptop on my nuts all the time!
