Quite south.
I've recently bought (another) new (ish) laptop, anyway I mainly use it for work, well that was the plan but sometimes I feel like playing some games and it handles a few alright. The main issue I have is it get's incredibly hot, its a 13" laptop and it certainly warms up my lap, temperature readings for the CPU hit the 70's and it's all very worrying.
I have decided that one of those cooling pad's that you stick under your laptop to push some cool air in.
Has anybody got one of these?
Do they work well?
Is there a specific one you would recommend?
I want a quiet one (so preferably with 1 or 2 big fans as opposed to the ones with 3 or 4 tiny fans) and it can't look too ugly. That's basically all I require. :)

Thanks
 
I found some rather over priced ones (although they appear to be well made) from a company called Targus. It's not strictly for lap use as I'm more worried about the laptop than my own lap.
Would you say they're worth it though? Do they actually work?
