 Excellent cooling fan.....except for... April 17, 2007

This is a very well made cooling fan for your laptop. However, if you have a 15.4" screen your laptop will hang off of it about an inch on both sides, 17" is about an inch and a half on both sides. Is that a problem? No, not really. You want air circulation underneath to cool. The 3 fans are great. Most cooling boards have only 2. An earlier reviewer said he didnt like it because the back was "open". Well that reduces the weight and increases air circulation. It is well designed in my opinion. The on/off switch is nice. It will only work of course if the laptop is running. You will never forget to turn it off. It runs amazingly quiet. You cant hear it but you can feel it. It is really meant to keep the battery cool and help the heatsink fan. A cooler working battery will last longer. It has a good angle to work. I really havent found anything wrong with it. I highly recommend this item, however, if I was to make a suggestion to improve it, it would be to add a couple of usb ports to it.
Nice cooler! Just what the doctor ordered. June 4, 2007

I was going to build my own laptop cooler out of a sheet-cake pan and copier cooling fans, but then I discovered this ready-made one on Amazon. After looking at 10 or so laptop coolers, I decided on this one as it was made better than the others - aluminum vs plastic, and had three fans. I just got this from the UPS man about an hour ago and already the computer is cooler to the touch.
Now that the daytime temperatures are in the 80s, my Dell Latitude D531 used get so hot that it would shut off by itself. Now it's running nice and cool! The 17 inch cord might be a problem for some, but it's fine for my use as I have 2 USB ports on my Dell. I am using one for the cooler, and the other for my 7 port USB hub. The cooler is slanted, and tilts the computer up about 1 inches so the keyboard is easier to type on. The three fans run so quiet that you can barely hear them.
I got a good chuckle out of the Features and Benefits paragraph on the box as it was obviously written by a person whose first language isn't English. (This cooler is made in China) :-))
A well spent 20 bucks. September 1, 2007

Having a 17" laptop (Dell Inspiron 9400/E1705), most cooling pads on the market don't quite fit. Many of them are designed for 15" or so sized laptops, so a 17" widescreen laptop will of course have couple inches hanging outside of the pad surface. So does this pad.
But this one is just perfect. No doubt about it.
Why? It almost seems like it was built for the 9400. Because the 9400 has two vents, one on the top left corner and another on the top right corner(one for CPU and the other for GPU since I have GeForce Go 7900 GS which has an extra fan). The vents have openings both on top (the keyboard side) and on the buttom which draw air and blow out the back side (next to the power coard, VGA video out, ethernet slot, etc).
As I've mentioned, this pad is for 15" laptops, so if I align the pad with the center of the laptop, there will be approximately 1" margin on each sides hanging outside the pad. But this way the buttom side of the two vent openings are actually elevated in mid-air, which is a perfect spot for air to move freely upwards.
You might wonder, then the 3 fans on the pad don't really help anymore? Actually they help tramendously. Because the SODIMM RAM slots of the Inspiron are located in the dead center of the buttom of the laptop, where hot air gather and not much cool air is circulating. So the location of the 3 fans on the pad basically blows away any and all accumulated hot air.
With the help of the cooling pad, the temperatures on the CPU, GPU, and memory chips can drop almost 40, 35, 20 degrees Fahrenheit respectively when running a demanding task (such as playing BattleField 2 at highest resolution).
The other reviews provided on this page pretty much covered all the great design details and features of the cooling pad. However I do want to point out that the company actually changed the USB cord part to make it removable (perhaps it saw the review below?), and now it's just perfect.
If I must complain about something, then I would say the fact that it has such a long and descriptive name (or lack therof) is quite annoying. Oh and the box that it comes in is kinda ugly.
But for a mere 20 dollars, give your laptop a good pad on the buttom.
Keeping it cool! March 18, 2007

After getting this pad I thought that the size and simplicity could not be effective however after taking it out on the road and using this for a week either it's me or this thing is really working. My laptop used to function more sporadic and at the end of a seminar day it would be hot, hot, hot. Now when the day is done after using the Cooler Pad the laptop is not only cool to the touch it also functions more efficiently. Just like a car...the cooler you keep the components the better it functions.
Love it January 15, 2008

Before I bought this...
I was playing World of Warcraft and after about 3 or 4 hours, my pc would overheat. The bottom of my laptop was scalding hot, and would reboot.
I bought this, and I can play World of Warcraft from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. (11am, to 1am at least) (yes, im a nerd!)
AND my laptop is COOL TO THE TOUCH.
After I purchased this, I closely monitored the temp of my PC, while it was being shipped to me, so I could compare the numbers.
Before I used this, my PC was running 70 to 90 degrees. (terrible!)
After I used this, my PC stays around 40 to 45 degrees ALL DAY.
I have no problems with the back, as it stays on my computer desk and I personally dont have a problem if I take my laptop away from my desk I dont play WoW anyway, and then my pc doesn't over heat.
Anyway. I recommend this one of all things.
