Belkin laptop cooler  [Posted on 2008-06-25]
So far so good with this piece of equipment. My gateway has a design flaw that doesn't allow it to cool down because the fan is to small or isn't in the right place which causes the laptop to overheat. Ever since I bought this cooler it hasn't shutdown from over heating and has kept it nice and cool. I highly recommend this product.

Not recommended [Posted on 2008-06-27]
I purchased this Belkin-laptop cooler a few days ago; I used it for approx. 6 hours. When I turned on my laptop today, I didn't think the cooler was on. It was securely plugged into my laptop and in the cooler its self. I lifted up my laptop and saw that the fan was not running. I grabbed it and touched the fan with my nail where it started running. Only now, it was very, very, very noisy. I unplugged the connection from the cooler and plugged it back in, it didn't start up automatically like it should've. I once again had to touch the blade with my nail to get it to start going where it still made a very loud noise.

Good Fan - Watch the smell [Posted on 2008-06-28]
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RYETCWMKT7ZZ9 I've tried a couple cooling fans, and I really like this one. I have a 17" laptop and it gets very hot. The fan has been able to keep my laptop cool even after the laptop has been running for hours. The keyboard area of my laptop used to get so hot it became uncomfortable to type. It's now much better.

I thought one fan wouldn't be enough to cool my laptop, but it does a very nice job. The fan is quieter than other stands I've tried.

There is no USB hub on this cooling stand like others have, but it is light and compact. It will fit easily into my laptop bag so I can take it with me when traveling.

The cooling pad has a pop-out stand that will help elevate the back of the laptop if you place the cooling pad on a desk. Just be careful of the stand because it's easy to push back in if you're picking up the cooling pad and moving it. It would have been nice if the prop-up stand had rubber feet so that the stand wouldn't be a scratching hazard when using on a wood desk.

I don't know if it's this way with all models, but after using it for a few hours, I could really smell the glue they used to adhere the pads to the plastic base. Perhaps it's the smell of the pads themselves. I expect it to go away after a while since I just purchased it. If it weren't for the smell, I'd give it five stars.

Complete junk [Posted on 2008-06-30]
Fan started whining after 2 days. DC power jack snapped off a day later. Complete trash. And that's where I put it. Maybe this will work if you just want to use it on a table but for laptop use forget it. It's worthless. If I could give zero stars, that's what it would get.

nice and works well  [Posted on 2008-07-02]
I've this for 2 months now. Have been using it almost everyday and most of the time I've the laptop on my lap for over 8 hrs a day. There are a few days when it's almost 80F inside but I seldom has to plug in the fan. Because of its curve shape, putting the laptop on it already allow some space for the heat to dispense. It also feel very comfortable on my lap. However, when it sits on the table, it put the laptop at an angle and I don't really like it though it's more a personal preference. Highly recommend it if you use your laptop on your lap a lot.
