Even if you don't have to deal with P4's anymore, laptops still lack good cooling conditions. Whether you find it too hot to rest on your lap or you're concerned about it's components durability, looking for an additional cooling source is always a good idea.

Notebook coolers are unfortunately quite noisy, heavy and/or reduce your battery life. This one from Thermaltake is another story altogether. It may look like a useless mat (300x230x13.8mm), but it's filled with Sodium Sulfate Decahydrate. It's a substance that solidifies when cold, and absorbs heat until it gets liquefies. It's absolutely silent, weights only 640g, does not require power and is as easy to install as, well, a mat.

If you're wondering what notebooks it can cool and how much, you can take a look at BigBruin. They have performed some light tests and, without putting much pressure on it's capabilities, it decreases temperatures between 7 and 10ºC.
