Do the fans blow air toward the laptop or pull air away from the laptop?

It blows the air towards the bottom of the laptop. It works incredibly well. My laptop constantly overheated after upgrading to 16Gb of RAM and adding a larger hard drive until I started using this fan

The fans blow toward the laptop. Most laptops take the air in from the bottom, which is where the fans circulate the blowing air.

it depends on the design of your laptop cooling system. you have to make sure you don't block the cooling vents.

Yes. It has a great design. I have used other fans and was always concerned with blocking the airflow. This design is much better and has a soft cushion on the bottom for resting on your lap. I use it non stop, over 8 hours a day while I run my home business on my computer.

Do you have any internal fans? If so are they blowing out.....not sucking in.

Chances are it pushes less air than you're default fan, at least it did for me . I was debating between a new card or new fan, i should have chosen a new card because I've had to buy one anyways

fan blows outward through front, drawing air in from back across parts inside. whether air is blown in or drawn in - should be same amount of air cooling.

I wanted to have this push air out of the enclosure, so I simply unscrewed the fans and flipped them over then simply screwed the fans back. It is very simple and works. I use it and I havent had a problem. It actually pulls alot of air through the enclosure that I have my CPU tower in. Keeps it cooler.

There are two small fans (80mm) on the lower back part of the case that can be configured to blow air to or from the hard disk trays. In my setup I have installed two Noctuas NF-R8 redux-1200 and all my 4 HD's runs cool and quiet.

Just NO NOT touch the upper side near the fans. The noise is loud compared to my last laptop.

There are two 80mm fan mounts for the bottom half of the case. They are intended to exhaust air, but you could turn the fans around and draw air in. The fans would point straight at one of the drive bays.

If possible, you want a "chimney effect" where the hot air is "pulled" out. I prefer to have my fans on top. Most cases and components and cases are designed and positioned to take advantage of heat rising to help the airflow. If your equipment has any other fans, use the external to assist their flow, not compete against it.

I have a Core i7 laptop which does heat up, there is a slight gap between the surface of the lapdesk and the laptop. It allows the heat to dissipate as there is air flow underneath.

The laptop does have a fan inside. There is a fairly large vent on the back side of the machine. It does get a little hot when doing a lot of work but I have never heard the fan buzzing. I've never really listened specifically for the fan, but I've never heard and been drawn to it either.

Has a dual fan that forces air up to the bottom of the laptop, which makes sense because the fan on the laptop draws air from the bottom and exhausts it out the side or back. This way the fans work together and not against each other.

It blows the air toward the laptop. I'm not sure how it works beacause the ambient air isn't all that cool/cold, but it does seem to work fairly well for me. My LT hasn't heated up since I started using it, but it was having a slight problem before.

Neither. The air does not flow in or out of the PCI case slot. The fan throws the air onto the PCI card next to it. In other words the air flows from the side shown in the picture to the opposite side keeping it all within the case.

Hello there..It is always preferable to put rear fans blowing out. But be sure you are creating a single air flow direction. You may not need intake fans and create enough negative air pressure within the case that air will enter through any other openings, but it's also preferable to put filtered intake fans with more capacity than the outlet fans so you always keep the dust where it should be and a fresh computer case.
