  • Summary: Laptop Cooler Works for 17-Incher
  • Comment: I did some research on these (I think from Tech Republic), and this one reduced the temperature the most in comparative field tests. It IS a bit heavy, and you can't see that the fans are spinning, but it seems to work well, and I recommend it, especially for those of us who have the big, 17-inch laptops. The USB connection could use a longer lead, but the advantage is that a long, droopy wire is not in your way. You can turn the cooler around to plug the connector into a USB port on either side of your laptop.

  • Summary: NO PASS THROUGH USB CONNECTOR
  • Comment: The unit does NOT come with a pass through USB connector! This is the 2nd unit I've purchased - the first one I got, a couple of years ago at least, DID HAVE a pass through connector but this one does not! What the heck? It is a good thing that I don't need the connection on the computer I am using it with or else I would have had to return the product. Having said that and being annoyed that an item is not as it is presented!!!!! this laptop cooler really does work. I just purchased a new Dell fully loaded and it runs hot. I didn't use the cooler from my old laptop at first but after seeing how hot the new Dell was, I took it off my old laptop and put it on the new one...WOW - what a difference, it cooled it off right away. That was my reason for purchasing the 2nd one - to replace the one under my old laptop.

    However - be aware IF YOU NEED THE PASS THROUGH CONNECTOR - you won't be getting one!

  • Summary: Great cooler for any laptop
  • Comment: I ordered this cooler at about 5pm one night and got it the next morning. It's a great cooler for any laptop. My father has this same one and I have used his in the past and I wanted to get my own. It is really great.

  • Summary: Severely disappointed
  • Comment: Before this arrived in the mail, I was beyond excited. My fairly brand new laptop (fall 2009) began making loud 'engine' noises, and blowing very warm (HOT) heat out of the left side. This was not only amazingly disappointing but concerning/frustrating as it was/is 'new' and a(n expensive gift). So, I researched the best cooling pads for laptops and came across this one.

    It seemed to be the best option for the price range. It had raving reviews so I was pumped - the solution to my problem. Ease, at last.

    First, the blue light on the side (which means it is working - 'in power'- is impossible to make stay on. I have to position the cord very specifically. It's almost like moving the antenna around various wall locations to get a signal that will work for more than a few minutes. Once the light is ON, it doesn't stay on for long, and the frustration is repeated.

    What makes this worse? My laptop is no 'cooler' than it was before. Even now I can still feel my wrists being heated (quite a bit) and feel gusts from the side of the laptop itself.

    I was so happy when I got the package that I tore up the receipts/documents, or any record of my purchase so I'm stuck with it. I would never recommend this Notebook cooler, and would love to return it. However, looks like I'm stuck dealing with it. To anyone wanting to buy this, I'd recommend shopping around. Or, if you really want this one?-keep the paperwork for at least a month. You'll be wanting it ;)
