1.0 out of 5 stars OVER HEAT, September 20, 2010

Looks great but the problem is.... it makes my laptop heat up really fast. It blocks off the fan to get air in turn makes my computer very hot!

It has got so hot that it turned to the 'blue screen' because it over heated...

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great with my 17" HP Laptop, April 25, 2010

This item is a simple concept that works very well.

I was looking for something to support my laptop when I was using it in my bedroom. Most of the support items I found were for smaller laptops - 10" to 14". I had bought another support that had a fan in it, it cost a lot more than the Belkin CushTop, and it was too large and uncomfortable to support the computer on my legs.

I did several searches on the internet for a lap support, and none of the items I found seemed to be made for a 17" laptop. The CushTop stated that it could be used for up to a 17" laptop, so I decided to try it and ordered it From Amazon.com. I'm glad I did. If you look at the product picture, it shows a laptop on the CushTop on the smaller side (Side A) with the larger side (Side B) on the person's lap. Once I received the item, the directions clearly show that Side A is for laptops up to 15", and Side B is for laptops up to 17". It works really well. It provides a nice and stable platform, and the laptop does not slide around on it.

The CushTop itself stays cool (I just lifted my laptop off of it to double check), so your legs, or whatever else the CushTop is resting on, stays cool too.

With the opening in the middle, you can store a mouse, and the power cord for the laptop as well. The diagram that comes with the CushTop shows the cord threaded through the opening when in use, I guess to keep from catching on anything when you move the laptop around. I have followed this advice and it works great.

I would highly recommend this item to anyone, and if you have a 17" laptop, you should have no qualms about your laptop fitting - it will.

2.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable yet bad for ventilation, March 30, 2011

Pros: Comfortable and light.
Cons: Covers up laptop bottom vents so your fans will be on the whole time. Not good for your laptop.
