Your sweaty palm is acidic, it'll attack the paint work. Most people's notebook have two round patches on the palm rest.

The thin film of wax will protect the paint work and it's easy to remove dirt from the waxed surface.

i am one of them with 2 round patches after using for months :(

Very effective if your fan blows downwards.

Height adjustable; just slight the wedge forward or backward.

Comes in 4 different colours.

Lifetime warranty.

Most Dell actually do not need air-cooler. They run relatively cool.
I using 8600gt, when playing high intensi game can feel the hot air blowing out. And the base is very warm.

You can't clean it; it's the paint coming off.

The Dell 1420 and 1520 have the exhaust fan under the computer near the back.

Two door wedges at the back will speed up the exhaut of hot air from the bottom.

I agree the air-cooler is more effective than the door wedge.

Yes, mine also get quite warm when I use my 640m to run fluid network analysis program. But I can tell you that it is not that bad as compare to the fujitsu laptop that my company uses.

Which Dell?

Just sold off my Dell 630M. Now planning to get Dell again.. but which one?

I use my notebook mainly for Photoshop and Internet (I do bring it out a bit during the weekends). As there are Inspiron, XPS and the new Vostro, I'm kinda confuse :s22:

Anyone can help me out here.. budget no more than 2.7K

Thanks in advance.
