All I can tell you is that I used the vacuum - on reverse (blowing air) - and
had no trouble. It was messy, so I'd suggest doing it outside or in a well
ventilated area because the amount of dust that blows all over the place is
insane.
I generally use the aerosol cans for things like the keyboard, etc. I am going
to try to use it to clean out the heat sink on my laptop as suggested earlier
by Emile. :-)
