nice product
2009-01-09I love this cooler pad. It has a low profile and a constant fan. It is quiet. I set it on my lap desk under my computer. It is lightweight and unobtrusive, but elevates the laptop by less than inch in front. If it saves my thermal pad from replacement (it failed before I bought this product) then I will be a happy girl.
Cheap
2008-12-14There'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.
A lap is not a desk
2008-11-22Love 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.
good deal for $15
2008-11-04I 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
2008-10-30Here 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!

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me?
Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents.
