 Cheap December 14, 2008

There's a reason the product shots are taken from the top. This device has exposed wiring underneath. It's a piece of 1/8 inch stamped sheet metal with the electronics bolted on underneath. The plastic knobs that the laptop sits on are simply pushed into place and hang there loosely. If you actually use a laptop on your lap, this item is not recommended. With no bottom surface to speak of and exposed components, this pad only makes sense in a desk-mounted setting. I chose to send mine back.

Love the device -- really works, easy to fix (when the time comes) and inexpensive. Only problem is the angle; it's fine for a desk, but it tips the laptop farther up in back, which makes for an uncomfortable sight angle when held in the -- well -- lap. Designers needed to treat a laptop as a LAPtop and not a DESKtop. I might glue a strip of wood under the lower edge to compensate. Couldn't hurt it.

I have a 17" MacBook and when I dock it, it gets really hot. I got this cooler pad and it keeps my laptop A LOT cooler. Holds and cools big laptop, no problem. I'm very pleased thus far, just curious how long it will last..... it does take one USB port so if your comp doesn't have a few you might want to get a hub.
Pretty good cooling pad October 30, 2008

Here is my simplified review:
-It serves its purpose pretty well.
-It is not any louder than my HP laptop's fan.
-It blows air up, so it is probably best for a bottom air intake laptop.
-The bottom is open, so it is not even an option to use on your lap.
-If you use a powered usb splitter to power it, then it would be great!
Powering a device from your computer (like this cooling pad) means that your computer is working to power it. My computer does feel cooler, but it runs just as much or more.
For use on a desk, this is a good cooling pad and price!

**Edited to add that I did not purchase this through Amazon.
I bought this around May 2007 and when I took it out of the flimsy soft cardboard box I found that one of the three fans did not work. I immediately called customer service and was offered the choice of sending it back for a full refund or sending it back for a replacement with the shipping fees at my expense. Well reading the great reviews about this product I decided to send it back for a replacement, after all the broken fan was probably just a fluke, little did I know that it was just the beginning.
About two weeks later I got the new one and it did what it was supposed to do and kept my laptop cool even during the hot summer months, however I found that the open bottom did not allow me to use my laptop on my lap comfortably. I had to tape a piece of cardboard to cover the back when I didn't have a table or desk handy. Also, I found that not having a cover on the back made it very loud. Sometimes I would have to turn the fans off if I was listening to something on YouTube or watching one of my soap operas online. Then in September of 07 the USB connection started to loosen and the fans would stop running until I played with the connection a bit. In December 7 months after I purchased this it died completely.
I ended up buying a two-fan cooling pad, which is much more quiet, has a back cover that I can use on my lap and is still working today, ten months later.
I'm glad so many of you like this product and have had success, but I guess it just wasn't the one for me.
