Love my cooling base

PostedFebruary 3, 2012
Yes, I would recommend this product
The base is perfect for me. Not only keeps my laptop cool, but, also helps keep my wrists sitting correct. Thought it might be a waste of money, but, I'm glad I was wrong.

Just ok

PostedMay 23, 2011
Yes, I would recommend this product
This product isn't great, but it's not terrible. It does keep my laptop a little cooler, but not by much. The fan is placed in such a such a way as to not make it fully effective. If the fan had been placed closer to the edge, or there were more space for airflow, it would do a better job of cooling.
That said, it works as a pretty good stand and I like the angle it puts the keyboard. It's much more comfortable to type on now.

A little loud

PostedMay 11, 2011
Yes, I would recommend this product
Its a little loud but for the price it does exactly what i needed it for. I think most of these cooling fans are noisy. The noise isnt enough to distract and it does its job! It also fits in my laptop bag so it travels well!

So So

PostedAugust 5, 2010
No, I do not recommend this product.
Upon receiving this product I first noticed that it is not glossy as it appears in the picture. Secondly, it is not very sturdy. Overall it's nothing more than a flimsy plastic fan. On a positive note, the fan actually does serve its purpose.

Great Buy!

PostedMay 27, 2010
Yes, I would recommend this product
This was a great buy. This cooling pad has good ergonomics to provide the best flow of air between the computer and pad. The flip up stand can get a little cumbersome if it is sitting on your lap. If you try to move the cooling pad forward on your lap, the stand will flip back in. If you're using it on a table or hard surface, it is perfect.

Love it

PostedOctober 20, 2009
Yes, I would recommend this product
I've had cooling pads before that were less sturdy. This one's solid, looks pleasant, and does a great job. Its curved design allows the warm air to escape, and it has nice grips which keep the laptop from sliding. Can be used with the optional lift in the back, for typing on an angle.
All in all, very satisfied with this. And the price was great too.
