Great buy!
Ive bought two of these, one late last year, and one just a few weeks back. I actually left my main one in the UK by accident HA! Anyway, it's waiting for me there when I return. I love this cooling pad, you can very much feel and see the differnce in my laptops performance. My laptop it an older Alienware, 17 inch of bulk! And it just fits on this cooling pad perfectly. I have having a lot of heating issues, for a gaming laptop, they did not give this sucker much room to vent heat. Even after cleaning the laptop really well, the core temp was through the roof, after just an hour or so of game time or run time, a touch to the top half of the laptop almost burnt your fingers. I no longer have that issue, thankfully, this pad was the greatest investment for me at the moment and the laptop is much happier to be cooler. I did learn from having the old Pad, that it does suck up dust or hair, I mean, they are fans, and that does get blown onto the bottom of your laptop. So I have cut some of my furnice filter pad to set on top to help keep the dust and hair out of the laptop, honestly I have cheesecloth now and might try that next, but the filter pad seems to work well in keeping the dust undercontrol and still lets a lot of airflow through. The angle of the cooling pad makes the laptop SOO much more comfy while in use, my wrist love the angle more for typing and it gives it a nice lift to my eye level on my desk. I caught myself hunching over a lot while typing and looking at the screen, but not anymore now that it is lifted and angled just perfectly.
I will admit, this is the third Cooling pad, the very first one I recived with a faulty fan. I got in touch with amazon, and it was a simple return and replace. The other two have work perfectly. You can adjust to only have 2 fans on, or all 4, you can also turn the lights off. I don't keep the USB power cord connected to my laptop, I use an extention cable and have it pluged into the wall USB adapter so it's less load for the laptop to worry about. that and im about out of free USB ports on the laptop anyway, HA!
Overall, I would happily buy this type again, it was a great price for an item that is keeping my old laptop cool, happy, and working better.
