Great Product!!! But bad design (2008-10-25)
I love this product but i jus realized that it actually pulls air from your computer. This works great with laptops with a fan that pushes air out, but not so well with laptops with fans that works like vacuum.
Does what it's supposed to, but I have some design ideas (2008-10-24)
My husband and I both use these with our laptops. This notebook cooler does a great job of keeping our HP Pavilion notebooks running very cool while conveniently not requiring a wall outlet for power. It's powered through the piggyback USB cable included, so you won't lose any usb jacks on your laptop. This cooler seems most ideal for a 15" laptop, although I use it for my 17" laptop without any problems at all. What I'd like to see however is for Antec to make a custom stand for this that will lift the notebook up to monitor height if you are using your notebook with an external keyboard and mouse. I like this design: Xbrand XB-1001 360 Height Adjustable Laptop Stand, but I find that all of the stands I like don't have built in notebook coolers, and I don't feel comfortable with the stability of putting a notebook cooler and then a notebook on the stand.
MacBook Pro Users - Be Aware (2008-10-16)
MBP users should know that while this product is a perfect size for the 15" model and it definitely keeps your laptop cooler, there is an issue. The design of the USB connection has the cord attached at the back. In order to make sure that it doesn't block your power connection, you must bend the USB cord waaay down. There is still danger of your power connection not being completely in contact as it should be. Also, with the short length of the coolpad's USB power connector, there isn't an option to plug it in on the other side of your MBP.
O, and if you plan to use this on your lap, look first at the contours of the bottom. Although the large feet make a great base on a hard surface, you may want to use a lapboard or something similar between the plastic edges of the bottom surface and your legs.
Even with the minor issues (after fiddling with it a bit and getting things settled in) I am very happy with this product. It does the trick with my MBP, even when I play WoW.
An amazing cooler! (2008-10-15)
My husband's laptop had issues with overheating (Dell Latitude D630 - 14") and I got him this cooler.
All computers (including laptops) need cooling - laptops are small/thin and there is not much space for fans... and that's where this unit comes handy.
What we noticed about this cooler:
- It's very light
- Aluminum top is great for spreading heat and keeping the laptop cool
- It's very quiet (on High you can bearly hear the sound of fans, and on Low you don't hear it at all)
- Cable is short so that it does not "dangle"; but not too short - it can reach at the back of laptop for USB connection. If you still can't reach USB connection on your laptop, because it's on the oposite side, you can always turn the cooler for 180 degrees so that connection on cooler comes to the right side (it's symetric, so it does not matter how you turn it).
- There is compartment for storing the cable when cooler is not in use
- Rubber on the bottom provides good grip - there is on slippage on wooden/glass surfaces
- It fits great on the lap
- Rubber on the top provides good grip - laptop is not slipping from the cooler
- Laptop fits great on this cooler (note that it's only 14" laptop).
- Cooler is quite thin and light so it's easy to put it in laptop bag and carry it with the laptop.
We like it very much, and we are going to get one more - for my laptop.
What I can say is that this is an amazing cooler and I do recommend it.
It is a good Cooler! (2008-10-13)
The surface is made of metal. The design is cool. The fan works great. It is worth to buy it.
