Excellent customer service and a very quiet cooling pad

When I received the first one, one of the fans had a loud rattling noise, so I returned it. The replacement arrived very quickly, and this one works perfectly.It's very quiet, and it keeps my laptop cool enough that the laptop's own fan rarely has to spin up loudly anymore. That makes using the laptop much more comfortable, especially during long sessions.I'm very happy with my purchase and also impressed with how quickly the replacement was handled. I would definitely recommend it.Ver más

Effective device at a "cool" price.

Great price, surprisingly good product. I always find it odd to see an item get 20 5-stars and then 20 1-stars. Possibly some got a an item that came off the production line faulty OR perhaps they travel with it and packed it shabbily, let their 2 year old use it as a Frisbee, etc. I guess there is truth in "YMMV" I think this item looks very sturdy. I plan on keeping it in one place. I have no kids and live alone. Sooo Hopefully, it will still be working fine in several years. Disclaimer is that I just received it today (one of the nice things about Prime membership is getting that IUPS delivery on SUNDAY. Nice surprise. My laptop is OLD - old meaning probably 7 or 8 years old and has dated technology. Dual chips and at this point in it's life, it runs pretty HOT. I am retired, have insomnia and often doze off at 4 or 5AM with computer running, so its on pretty much 24/7 I am amazed it is still running and also know it contains a lot of info that is either very difficult to back-up/store, or just too much of a hassle to spend that much time doing so (and I'm a bit naïve about doing that.So, I plan on buying a new one in a month or so and just want to do the best I can to keep guy running until then. Heat is a big enemy of computers, especially when they start getting as hot as mine has been (prompting me to get the cooling pad, but really, it's a goo idea to use this from day one). It will greatly increase the life and performance of your computer and it's components. This cooler is QUIET, even more so than I expected from many reviews. The blue light? Some found it annoying, but it wasn't at all to me and I actually think its really a nice feature that lets you know it is running, since it runs so quiet (and my hearing not the best). Well, if it runs so quiet, it can't be putting out much air, right? Nope - nice steady stream of air - not hurricane force, but quite sufficient. I opened the box, put it under my laptop on my lap and decided to read up on the 13 pages of questions people asked about it. Just to see how it well it would work. Didn't do any gaming, but did have a number of other programs open and viewing like facebook, some web surfing, reading mail, etc. After several hours where it would normally been almost too hot to touch, it was surprisingly COOL to the touch. Good deal! Very happy with those results and I'm thinking about getting another unit for my PS3 and/or as a back up.A couple of tips: some complained the short power cord seemed to come apart fairly easily. Most cables tend to be that way, especially those on equipment that is moved around much at all. What I do with virtually every power cable phone/USB, etc, is to take a length of electrical tape and wrap both connector ends a number of times at a length of a an inch or so centered right at where the cable meets the connector. A lot of cables have "stress relief" built into them, but I've had these fail as well. The tape reinforces it and helps prevent frequent sharp bending and eventual failure. I am also going to power the cooling pad with an external USB 2.1A charger so as not to draw down the battery or increase any additional heat. Probably an overkill on my part, but I have a 7 port AC powered USB charger that I use for phones and other devices. The pad IS slick and while the "feet" angle it a bit (which makes for better air flow), it also causes my laptop to tend to slide off. I plan on putting several rubber "bumpers" on the bottom of the laptop to keep it stable. Short story long, I am very pleased with the device especially with the cost and that it truly does keep my computer running cool! Would certainly recommend to others, I think you'll be well pleased. Wish I had bought this years ago.Ver más

Solved my cooling problem!

Update - I had a great experience with this the first day I used it. When I went back to use it again I couldn't put my hand on the USB cable that came with it so I grabbed another and another and another, tried different power supplies and the darn thing would not work. I thought it was defective and then I found the cord that came with it and it works fine. That was just weird and makes me paranoid about losing the OEM cord again. Keep it close!Original Review - I just got this a few hours ago and right now I am vey impressed with this. I would like it better if it had an on-board battery to run the fans instead of draining the lap top but I knew it was like that when I ordered it so I shouldn't complain, I'm just saying that it would be better. Instead of draining the lap top I plugged it into an external back up battery and it has been working great. I do a lot of video processing on my lap top and the processor causes a lot of heat. When it heats up the machine starts acting wonky and it is very frustrating. I've used a regular lap desk to help keep the air ports clear but the machine is older and that isn't enough anymore. I now use the cooling rig on top of the lap desk (because the lap desk has a slide out for my mouse) and while it is a little bit of a contraption, the computer is running great with no over heating slowdown. This kit comes with a couple of USB cords for easy USB connectivity and while they intended to hook directly to the computer I hooked to the external battery instead. The desk has a couple of LEDs built into it for lighting. They work great but personally I'd be happier if I could switch them off to limit distraction in a dark room and battery drain. This whole thing is vey lightweight and portable. The perforated metal this is made out of provides enough grip that the PC doesn't slide around and it is very stable. Overall I'm very impressed that this $30 investment helps my machine run better and will probably extend the life of it so I think this is a good value for my money.Ver más

good choice if your laptop is overheating

quick and easy fix for a laptop where the fan has stopped working. no more overheating! can't afford the time to be without a laptop for work. slightly raises laptop on a gentle angle which is very comfortable for typing. laptop doesn't slide, nor does the cooling pad on my table. quiet air flow. very pleased with the product.Ver más

Impressive…most impressive.

I’m running a year and a half old Hewlett Packard Envy laptop with a 17” IPS touch screen, 16 GB of memory and a TB SDD. My OS is Windows 11 home, and I’ve made no adjustments in BIOS to fan control.I typically have iTunes, Photoshop and Microsoft Excel open at the same time, along with several tabs from Google Chrome. Though I’d place my laptop on a surface conducive to air flow, this thing would occasionally get very hot, especially when running Windows updates. I’d regularly unplug the system, let it cool, and then blow out the intake vents with compressed air. That didn’t help, and I’m not about to remove the back of the laptop to clean it further. Since I don’t feel like dropping $1,400 on another new computer, and I clearly needed to get the core temperature of my system down, it became obvious that I needed a laptop cooler.This is the first model I have tried, and it works like a charm. It’s a keeper.I’ve been running my system for about five hours straight tonight, doing a good amount of work that keeps my CPU busy, including ripping CDs in iTunes. And the laptop still feels the same as it did before I turned it on: cool to the touch, and the I haven’t heard the laptop’s system fan kick in once.Note: I will be working in Pro Tools within the next week, software that will be more demanding on my system resources. Should the cooler have any issues maintaining core temperature with the higher demands on my CPU, I’ll update my review. But I don’t foresee this happening.This thing is great. It’s lightweight, yet pretty solidly constructed. Though it does have two adjustable legs in the back to place the laptop at a more ergonomic angle, I don’t use them, though I did these them. My computer didn’t slide around at all. The face of the cooler “grips” the bottom, so to speak,, so it stays in place.And it is very quiet. I completely forget that it’s running. It takes the blue light reflecting off of something to remind me that the cooler is there.Another positive is that it’s very comfortable on my lap wearing shorts. There are no edges pressing into my legs, and I’m no longer sweating because of the heat being thrown from my system.The cooler has the on/off switch, led power indicator, and two USB ports on the back. A USB type A connector cord is included, which is just over 21” from the bottom of one dongle to the bottom of the other. I have USB super speed type “A” ports on either side of my laptop, so it’s easy to plug in. No other work is required to set it up. Simply put your laptop or other electronic device on top of it, connect the USB line from the cooler to the hardware, and the fans are up and running, and the colored lights are on.I got a 20% off coupon, so with tax, the unit cost $24.24. I placed my order late at night Thursday, and it was delivered before 6 am Friday morning.A great product, and great service. Even if you pay the full list price, which will come to around $30 with tax, it’s money well spent. It will extend the life of your laptop.

Nice cooling pad

This cooling pad is just as described. It easily connects to my computer and works well. The fan is very quiet and adequately blows the cool air. I like that there is a power switch on it so I can just use it as a stand. My laptop stays in place even without using the included pads. The legs are handy for tilting the laptop for better accessibility. I am pleased with my purchase.Ver más
