Consumers' all time favorite, Tai-Chi Notebook Cooler, from Thermaltake Technology, is yet joining a new force.

Designed with tilt dynamic from top to bottom, Tai-Chi S balances with air convection and direct blown toward the heat source for fast heat exhaust, avoid system crash due to overheat. Tai-Chi S ergonomic and elevation design brings visual comfort; reduce eye-strain, and reducing typing discomfort.

Couldn't you just prop up the laptop to get the same effect?

Edit:

I was reading about this chimney effect...its basic thermodynamics.

In a stack structure, when heat rises to the top, it creates negative pressure below. Cold air then rushes from below to zero out that negative pressure.

A cycle then begins...that cold air becomes hot...it rises to the top...creates negative pressure below...then more cold air enters from below.

Problem is the the heated air is rising to the intake of your laptop...So propping the laptop up might have better performance that using this thing.
