2.0 out of 5 stars
Looks good but makes a poor cooling pad, May 6, 2008
Pros: soft surface yet very firm. I like how it works with both 15.4" and 17" notebooks. Great positioning for using while sitting in bed or on the couch.
Cons: Does not allow your notebook to breathe, there is zero room between the top surface and the bottom of the notebook. Belkin claims that the fabric allows for air to move freely but I have had my notebook shut down 3 times due to overheating, and that's no bueno!
This is a poor solution for cooling, if you have a notebook that tends to run hot anyway due to the way you use your notebook, burning DVD's, downloading, copying files, severe multitasking and maybe harware(Dual core, 4 gigs memory)find another solution.
I ended up buying an Antec cooler (looks like a silver X) and I set it under the Belkin which makes it a little taller than it was before but like I said the lift and angle of the Belkin is really nice.

Very Comfy for lap!!, June 1, 2007
I needed something that would fit level in my lap while I typed papers and did work on my computer.. A couch cushion/pillow wasn't doing the trick. This cushtop keeps my legs cool and my computer upright. I can sit on my bed for hours and not worry about feeling uncomfortable.. I would highly recommend to anyone who spends a lot of time on the computer but doesn't like to always sit at a desk.. Great product!!

Protects your laptop from spills!, October 2, 2007
The main reason I ordered the CushTop is because of the way my previous laptop met its demise: by a spilled glass of water on the desk flowing under it.
With the CushTop, I feel like I have a very affordable insurance policy against this accident EVER happening again! Beverages and food really can't spill onto/under my laptop now, AND it's at a great height for viewing. The icing on the cake is that it's also very comfortable to use on my lap; no more overheated legs!
This provides a nice, firm support at just the right angle -- it's not "floppy" or soft foam or anything that might make it feel as though the computer would fall off (also, the rubber grips on the laptop itself hold it in place).
Unlike other reviewers, I have no trouble fitting my cords and the charger box thing on the cord into the center opening....perhaps some laptops have bigger chargers? (I have a Toshiba Satellite U305 13.3") I don't think a mouse would fit in there, though...maybe an ACTUAL mouse would, but it might chew up the cords. ;-)
In summary...LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! Buy it, you won't regret it -- especially if you can't help but keep a beverage next to your laptop!
