Hey there.
I am thinking about buying a cooling pad for my desktop replacement, gaming-ish laptop. I've heard it can help in extending the laptop's life when doing demanding stuff many hours in a row.
I am wondering what things you need to consider when buying such a cooling pad, what makes a cooling pad good/worth it, how much a cooling pad's effectiveness depends on the laptop model.... etc

Would cherish any thoughts :D thanks in advance, cheers.

This is a bit dated, but it should give you an idea on how effective such cooliing pads are:
