Hey folks,
I have a pretty crappy plastic Targus cooler under my laptop, and I'm in the market for a new one. But, there are a zillion options, anyone got one they love and works well to recommend?
This one from Zalman looks pretty good, but I really don't know.
I'm looking for something with dual fans, a couple of USB ports, etc.
There's also this fancy thing with a hot-swapable hard drive thingy. Not sure I need that.
So, what have you used, what would your recommend?

Good fans, runs on USB power, really big (at least for my 13" MacBook), and its made out of metal.
All these plastic laptop coolers are basically just adding another layer of insulation onto the bottom of your laptop. If the bottom of the laptop is actually making contact with the cooler, you've got to go with a metal frame to conduct away the heat.
