3.0 out of 5 stars Lovely design but little air flow, May 30, 2009

By	marionette77 (Ithaca, NY) - See all my reviews

I wish I could give this thing two separate ratings but since I can't I went with 3 stars. I'd give it 5 for design alone. The placement of the fan and its intake are great. I never have to worry about the intake being cut off by my clothing when it's on my lap, a problem I had with my previous laptop cooling pad was a Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Stand. I have also written a review for the Belkin pad.

I'd give it 1 star for the fan. The fan is extremely quiet but that is because it does not move a great deal of air. Since the air flow is very low, it is not adequately cooling my own laptop. While the 2 star reviewer states that the fan is overkill, I'd like anyone reading this to note that laptops vary between manufacturers and models. How hot your laptop gets will vary depending on make/model and even how you're using it. This pad may be good for you if your laptop only gets uncomfortably warm.

Unfortunately, this is not the case with my laptop, an older Macbook pro (that I suspect may be on its way out) that gets skin searingly hot to the point that it interferes with the functioning of the laptop. An efficient and working cooling pad is actually a necessity for me. If I could put the fan from the Belkin mentioned above, into this pad it would be perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars surprisingly quiet, and also surprisingly effective, May 17, 2009

By	CS (Acton, MA, USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I had low expectations for this, since I haven't had great experience with cooling pads. They only sort-of work in terms of heat dissipation, and tend to be noisy (or become noisy as the parts wear in).

This one has so far been a very surprising change from the past. It's very quiet, I'm not sure if what I hear is just my notebook, or the pad as well. So I was even more sceptical about the cooling, but it fooled me. So far, my hot-running Dell XPS has been running much cooler, even when I'm doing something cpu-intensive like playing chess.

So try it, you might really like it! (The price is a bit steep, in my view, but I guess you get what you pay for.)

Note on size: this is about 14.25 x 11 inches, large enough for a 17-inch laptop perhaps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely comfortable and affordable., April 20, 2009

By	Marcus Hoige - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've used a few different lap desks before and most of them have a cloth pad underneath for your legs. The problem with this is the cloth still gets warm from the computer sometimes and it's still not much more comfortable than putting the computer directly on your lap. Most of the pads that I've used like seem cheaply made and don't cost all that much less to buy than the Logitech N100. I'm really happy with it- Its fan cools not only the bottom of the computer, but also your legs which was the main selling point for me in the first place. The design is comfortable on your lap and also works well if you want to place it on a table or desk. My only gripe with the product is that while the USB that comes out from underneath the pad(to power it) can easily plug into either side or the back of your computer(depending on how your computer is set up), it isn't very easy to put away. You have to try and push it back into a slot at the bottom and it always seems to pop back out on me. Other than the cable, though, the pad seems well made and pretty inexpensive. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to keep their computer cool at their desk or away.
