Product Description

A hot notebook/laptop can be a pretty irritating thing and a notebook that has been running for a long time and has become hot makes it difficult to comfortably use. In addition battery life can be greatly diminished with a hot laptop and can even make it uncomfortable to type or rest your wrists on the notebook. The Multi-fan USB Powered Notebook Stand brings a breath of fresh air to your notebook and will cool your notebook soon after the fans begin working their magic. The stand is powered through one of your laptops USB ports and also includes a 4-port USB 2.0 hub that can power USB keyboards and mice. Protect your laptops battery life and make it enjoyable again to use your notebook without generating a heat wave around it. Adjust the cooling stand up or down for better viewing or typing. Set yourself free from hunching over your laptop when at a table or desk. The stand elevates the laptop so there is less strain on your shoulders and neck when viewing your laptop. Sit back in your chair relax and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cools the laptop, saves battery life, June 11, 2008

I can't believe how quiet the fans are on this stand. I've tried out a couple laptop stands and use a different one at work, but this one is the best for the "quiet" factor.

The battery on my laptop is located towards the back of the laptop right by the fans and the fans actually keep the battery cool whereas before, the battery would get very hot. I had a battery go bad on my laptop a while back, and it was probably because it would get so hot. Having the fans cool the laptop has been fantastic.

I like how the USB hub is attached to the fan (I actually prefer it to the fan on my computer), it can power simple USB devices such as a keyboard or mouse just fine. I think it needs to be plugged into a power source to power portable hard-drives, etc.

My only complaint is that I have a 17" laptop and it seems a little big for the stand. I have to be careful not to bump it.

This review is from: Laptop Stand & Cooling Stand (Dual-Fan Extra Quiet) - Silver (Accessory)

I bought this for my 13" MacBook. The laptop fits well on the stand and the fans keep the machine cool, even when crunching through video processing. I wanted to give this 5 stars, but two things kept me from doing so. First, the USB hub requires external power to run anything other than a USB stick (such as an external hard drive, which I use for Time Machine). Unfortunately, there is no such power source in the box and I'm still trying to find one.

The second drawback is, since I'm not using an external keyboard, typing on the laptop causes the stand to bounce a little bit from side to side. Since the incline is supported by a center support, it's just pivoting on that support. It's not terrible, but if you're a heavy typer (guilty), it does make you slow down a little bit.

So, good product, very quiet. The feet are solid on my desk and the incline levels are comfortable to use.

I constantly am trying new product to see which one cools my notebook PC the best. Well ding ding ding we have a winner! The three fan set up on this cooling device keep my laptop running as cool as possible bar none! The reason I am so obsessed with keeping my laptop cool is because I have gigabytes of important files stored on it and if you over heat your notebook you run the risk of losing everything! Thousand of hours of work gone! This product lets me relax a little knowing that my laptop will remain cool throughout the work day. Now I just need to figure out how to stop those dang power outages!
