Dual, adjustable fans and an aluminum faceplate keep your laptop cool while hide-able rubber pads hold the laptop securely.
Cheap initially, but more expensive in the long run (2008-07-17)
This review is actually for two of the same kind of laptop cooler, mine and my daughter's. They worked great for a couple months, but then the fan blades on both of the coolers started getting stuck on the inside of their enclosures and breaking off (mine now has 3 blades on one side and 5 blades on the other).
My daughter's cooler started to have a problem with the power cord on the end that goes into the cooler itself, and it needs to be jiggled and moved around to find a position in which it will work, and then held in place. Then it stops working again and needs to be jiggled and moved to another position and held in place again.
Both of these laptop coolers (my daughter's and mine) are now much louder than they used to be, and they vibrate more, probably from being off balance due to the missing fan blades.
My advice is to spend the money to get a better quality laptop cooler that won't break after two months.
Poorly Constructed (2006-04-04)
This is effective in keeping a laptop cool as long as the fans are actually.
As noted in another review, the USB powered connector periodically failed after a few months, requiring you to jiggle the wire to get it running again. I have two of these and they both eventually exhibited the same behavior. Now one is completely dead.
Piece of garbage (2005-10-02)
Fan fins self destructed. Worked for a couple of months, then noticed my laptop getting really hot, the fans weren't running, then discovered some of the fins broken. It's not like they are accessable to physical damage. Avoid Vantec products unless you have money to waste.
Poor design (2005-09-22)
I have had this cooler for one year and both fans are broken. The fan guards on the bottom are too open and do not protect the fans well enough. The first fan on my unit was broken two months after my purchase when a fold of my clothes penetrating the guard while it sat on my lap. The second just broke also. I am not sure how. These fans just seem to be too delicate and exposed. There are other problems as well. I am getting an intermittent power connection at the back which requires an occasional jiggle to keep power flowing. Finally, my Dell laptop has never sat on the unit well. The small flip out feet cannot be adjusted. I am now looking for a more flexible and sturdier cooler. I would not buy a Vantec again.
Excellent in all areas! Totally Recommend! (2005-08-10)
I'm a huge bargain shopper and comparison shopper, so while researching a laptop cooler took me a few days to narrow down the search.
I finally decided on the LapCool 2 (even though it 'only' has 2 fans) because the Evercool has NO rubber grips for your computer, something you don't even think about until you read through 100's of reviews and someone mentions it...though the Evercool has 4 fans and is cheap, that was a major drawback.
The LapCool 2 is fantastic in size and weight, the cord is nice and short, so no hanging cords to tangle up on things.
I keep my USB stick in the extra storage compartment.
I have to sit on my deck to get a signal from the wireless broadband network I set up with my neighbor and it's 99 degrees outside and my computer's fans either haven't kicked on, or they're on so low, I can't even hear them!
Usually, it runs so hot, I have to 'lift' it with a book so air can flow underneath into the intake of my computer and having to be out in hot weather was impossible.
With the LapCool 2 underneath, my notebook is running nice and cool!
I can't even hear the fans in the LapCool 2 either!
