Disappointed |
I purchased this product from Buyadvd after reading favorable reviews that the cooler does a decent job of keeping the laptop from overheating, and seeing as it was under $30, I figured that it might be a great bargain.
I soon found out that all the reviews were really too good to be true. The problem with my Compaq Presario CQ50-210US that I purchased in July was that it would begin to overheat after 30 minutes. Not only did this make gaming an impossible experience for me, but completing any other task on may laptop: say web browsing, became a rather assiduous task.
But this is not a rant about my laptop; I'm simply giving you the background of my situation. So what would you do if you were in my shoes after having spent $700 on a notebook computer that becomes literally unusable after 30 minutes of activity? Well, look for a reasonably priced cooler, of course!
I usually trust Buyadvd.com ratings, especially when over 300 people seem to be able to come to a consensus on rating this product 4 stars. I bought this cooler, and I could not have been more disappointed.
Now, the question everyone wants to know: does it cool your notebook? That's the wrong question to be asking. Though this statement may seem paradoxic, keeping your laptop cool and keeping it from overheating are two completely different things. A notebook is perfectly usable at normal temperature or even if it's slightly hot, and all I was looking for was something to keep my laptop from overheating so I could prolong my activity for at least an hour. But nope, it didn't live up to that standard. It did lengthen the time it took for my notebook to get really hot -- by maybe 20 or at most 25 minutes.
All I can say is that I am sorely disappointed with this product. The reason I give it 2 stars is because it's inexpensive and may work better on non-HP/Compaq notebooks. If you choose to buy this cooler, just remember that it's not the best cooler, and it's well worth spending $20 or $30 more to buy a cooler that actually does its job. |

Very effective product |
My Toshiba laptop would not stay on for more than short periods of time. I suspected it might be getting too hot. I read some reviews on coolers, and thought this one sounded good, and the price was reasonable. Since I've been using this cooler, my notebook has not shut off prematurely at all. It is not uncommon for this computer to be on 24/7.
The one thing I didn't care for was the blue power on light. It was so bright that it was very distracting. A couple layers of black electrical tape dimmed it enough to not be bothersome, yet still be visible. |

I have had this laptop cooler for several months now and have been very happy with it. Some people complain about the blue power light, but it doesn't bother me at all. I also like that it has both low and high settings. I keep it on high while playing games, and although it makes a little more noise it keeps my computer cooler. When I'm just browsing I keep it on low and I don't even hear the fans. Probably the best thing about this cooler is that it works very well both on a desk or table and while sitting on my lap. I even bought one for my roommate for Christmas because he liked mine so much. One thing to keep in mind is that it won't work as well for smaller laptops. I have an older 13" Macbook and it is just barely big enough. Also, unlike most other coolers (I think) it sucks air down away from laptop instead of blowing air up into it. |

Just what I was looking for!!! |

I was looking for something more substantial than my previous cooling pad (Targus Laptop Chill Pad - PA248Y01U) and this product is perfect. I love that it is made of metal and the taller rubber pegs that the laptop sits on are a better height to facilitate cooling. Also, the rubber feet make it completely non-slip. Thanks Antec!!! |
