Keeps my legs cool
As I have a one or other laptop on my knee for a lot of the day (both work and personal use) I needed something to keep my legs cool. I was previously using a plain wooden board about the size of the laptop base. It helped, especially as it made sure the laptop fans were not blocked by clothing, but could still get very warm on my legs. I had looked several times for an alternative but the cushion sort still transmit heat to the legs, and I don’t have space for a the mini table sort (and also thought they might be too high for comfortable typing for long hours.
This is about the width of my 15.6″ laptop and a little deeper and so fits perfectly. I don’t want/need space for a mouse as I use that on the arm of the chair). I think a 17″ laptop would over hang the sides. Even without the fans on it keeps my legs nice and cool as air can flow easily under the laptop. When I’ve heard my laptop fans spin up faster I’ve tried plugging in the fans on this and they are quieter than the laptop at that point. I wasn’t even sure they were running the first time I tried. When they are running I actually start feeling a slight chill in my hands above the keyboard as the air movement increases. I’m yet to try on a day with several meetings, but I feel confident it will still keep my legs cool.
I don’t think this would help much if you have a laptop which is struggling to stay within it’s correct working temp range. Better to make sure it’s own fans are operating correctly and are not clogged with dust. However it’s perfect for making the laptop comfortable to use on your lap.
The USB cable to plug it in can come out either side to match your laptop USB ports and there is a clip on both side to hold it when not in use. I dislike messy cables about, but this tucks away nicely.
All in all, I’m very pleased with this and it’s the best solution for the way I use my laptop.

Good quality fixed angle laptop cooling stand
Stand fits my 17″ laptop well. Two cooling fans are fixed speed but are quiet and definitely help my laptop stay cooler, provided your laptop cooling intakes are at the rear of the case. Non-slip rubber stops on top help the laptop stay stable but it needs the same on the bottom. On a wooden or laminate desktop, the stand slides around too easily. This is fine if it is sitting on your lap but I’ll be adding stick on rubber feet to prevent it being able to move too easily.

Keeps laptop cool
Works fine, nothing great but keeps the laptop to an acceptable temperature. I like its design as it doesn’t look tacky.

Don’t buy this product
I have been using this cooling fan for 9 months and to be fair, it was ok in the beginning, it did its job. It was a little annoying even in the beginning as it is a very loud fan. Over time though maybe like three months, the right side began working less and less. Eventually, it stopped working and now the fan on the left side is the only one working. Unfortunately, that is not enough. I use the laptop daily for several hours and most times I need to have many programmes running simultaneously. My laptop gets really really hot and since there is only one fan working (barely at this point) then the laptop stays hot… I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone. I would recommend you to pay a little extra and get a decent cooler especially if you use your laptop every day. Also, whenever I work from my bed instead of my desk, my legs get really hot underneath it. Not worth it…

Great product
Does the job well. Keeps my gaming laptop a bit cooler and it’s not as noisy as I thought it would be. It keeps the laptop in place well, without it slipping (and my laptop is quite heavy). It fits well and comfortably on my lap, lifting the laptop just right, preventing my neck from getting sore. The only thing that would make it perfect would be if it wasn’t made of plastic as it makes it a bit ‘flimsy’. When lifting it up with the laptop on I have to do it carefully as the cooling tray feels bendy, with the weight on, but apart from that it’s great. For that price you can’t really expect some sort of an amazing cooling system anyway.

Good at price point with a few issues
This is a cheap laptop stand with a basic fan. It functions well to raise your laptop off the worksurface, to prevent contact of a warm/hot device with your lap, and always to provide additional air underneath the device, even when the fan isn’t plugged in.
If noise and heat are your concerns with your laptop however, this won’t solve the noise problems. The fan is not super quiet. It’s by no means loud, but it’s easily as noticeable as a laptop fan, if not more.
My product also arrived with cracks in the stand surface mesh, which I suspect may worsen with time. Fixable with glue, but a shame to receive a slightly damaged product.

This pad is very simple and elegant, well made, and quiet. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with only one caveat: Make sure the cooling intake slots on the bottom of your laptop are closer to the rear of the laptop than the front. The pad’s fans are mounted near the rear edge and may not provide airflow into your laptop if your intake vents are situated below the fans. I had this situation with a big Asus laptop and regrettably had to return the pad and go with a different one. I really would have preferred this one but didn’t feel the airflow path was optimal for my situation.

The product functions exactly as advertised. It is a bit plastic but grips your laptop very well. The fan is soft and does not interfere with what you are doing. The design is sturdy and provides cooling for both your lap and the computer. Good Buy.

Took it out of the amazon bag and it felt like it barely had any weight. It’s the thinnest plastic you could find. I hope it’s sturdier than it looks and feels bu I doubt it. Not sure if we’ll keep it, it feels like it breaks easily.

completely solved my laptop overheating problems. nut it runs quietly at a much lower temperature.
Honest Reviews –
I’m using this for a bed laptop holder and it’s been really good. Very happy with the purchase, despite it having somewhat simple construction and not too sturdy if trying to hold on the side, but if you have a laptop on top, use two hands to lift it and problem is solved.
