My laptop tends to run a little hot while gaming, I tried a cooling pad and it made a noticable difference but the quality was not so good. Looking for recommendation!
Before i respond to your question, i want to add the disclaimer that i have no prior experience of using any cooling pad. I am looking for a cooling pad myself and briefly sharing output of my research and the perception that i have built based on this research. The research mainly consisted of watching videos and reading customer reviews.
As you have mentioned you tried one which i believe to be a non branded one commonly available from various stores and online under 1500. I found that these are just OK in terms of quality. However, it is better to spend a bit more and get a branded one.
I am price conscious in this case so i did not want to spend too much. This is what i have finalized for myself however, i could not get it because in Lahore (where i am based), sellers are asking for very unreasonable price for it and i dont want to have it shipped because it may get damaged in transit.

This one is for 15 to 17 inch laptops.
Maybe someone can share where to get it from Lahore or have it shipped reliably in reasonable price.
