Hi Caroline Below, you will find a link to the laptop cooler which, I believe, is the best of those I possess. I think there are 5 altogether, but they only vary in colour.

I would be interested to know the models of laptop coolers you have tried and which you find particularly good. A variable fan does sound as if it would be a good idea as you could presumably alter the speed of the fan depending on the temperature in the room at the time. I'd also like to know approximately how large these coolers are and whether they're the kind of size which could conveniently fit into a laptop case. Something of that size would be ideal. Thanks, Caroline. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shane Harris" <wighttiger12@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Caroline Ford" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 12:37 PM Subject: [access-uk] In Reply To: Reducing Laptop Temperature > Hi caroline > > I have 3 different laptop coolers and would definitely recommend that you > purchase one fitted with a variable speed fan.
