I recently bought a Strata 3663 laptop from zareason. So for, it works great. 

I bought a Targus Chill Hub XC laptop cooling "pad" to sit under the Strata. This is the first time I've gotten into the chill world. 

Here's my question: The pad's chill fans blow upwards, towards the laptop. Doesn't that work _against_ the laptop's fan, which is trying to blow air downwards? I didn't actually take high school physics, so maybe I just don't understand such deep things, but to my layman's mind, this just seems wrong. 

What do you guys do to chill your machines?
