The kind that sit under your laptop? I've had a few of them. Get the one that is applicable to your laptop size. They work well.

if it is making noise and rotates it works, but they aren't too efficient, 

if you use your laptop for gaming/ watching movie itwill be hot cos the cooling isn't as good as it would be in a pc

They're okay. They at least keep your laptop from burning up your legs, and they make for nice hand warmers.

Cooling pads don't actually reduce cpu and gpu temps that much at all so if it isn't going to be on your lap I recommend this. http://www.amazon.com/LC05-Cooling-Auto-Temp-Detection-Compatible/dp/B00XKU47Y2/ref=pd_bxgy_147_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1GFF5WS7V4TG3A2V366S

Not going to lie. That is pretty bad ass. Only took them forever to come up with that. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
