 Finally a Laptop Cooler that doesnt destroy your laptop July 25, 2008
When I first looked at this item on Amazon I must admit I was very skeptical. I have purchased many notebook coolers in my time, one of them actually costing me a notebook. It destroyed the fan inside the notebook, and then the notebook overheated and died, being I went to an outside electrical device that was not made by the company I somehow violated the not so affordable warranty I purchased which I must say caused me to be a bit angered. After I looked over multiple cooling systems I came across the Xpad. No fans? How does it cool your system down? Not wanting to take a chance on destroying another notebook with another p.o.s, I decided to get this Xpad, it was affordable, and best of all it doesn't violate any Warranty set by your notebook provider being it doesn't plug into it, or change its engineering in any shape or form. :) I received the Xpad later on that week, and decided to check it out, first and foremost, the reason my notebook runs at insane temperatures is because I am an Online Gamer. I play MMORPG's, to be specific World of Warcraft. My notebook would constantly over heat, resulting in what's known as the Blue Screen of Death. Since I have gotten the Xpad, I have not once seen this screen. However do not expect this Xpad to cool down your laptop 100%. It does however reduce the heat incredibly, and makes your notebook run allot smoother, and somehow faster! When placed on your lap, you don't even feel the heat. Or if I am wearing shorts, and parts of my leg is exposed, no heat! You will still feel a little heat from the laptop itself, so if you're looking for something that will 100% cool your notebook, this isn't for you. If you're looking for a product that will significantly reduce the heating to your laptop, and stop you from getting leg burn, than you have found your answer! I know I did!

 Not really non-slip June 27, 2008
Got it today. So far so good. Except for one thing: I'm on my recliner with legs elevated 10 to 20 degrees. I'm using an IBM T43 with the pad, and the laptop keeps slipping towards me.
The "feet" on the laptop are rubber, but the rubber on the "X" is slippery, and that's right out of the box. It's like someone put butter on the X-Pad. I'll try to wash it and see.
It's so NOT non-slip, that I can push the laptop back, and it just slides on top of the X-Pad. Normally you'd expect that rubbing one rubber against another will create friction.

I'm very pleased with the Xpad. I ordered this because my Lenovo X61t gets extremely hot, especially when playing games or using graphics-intensive programs. I primarily use my notebook away from a desk or table, so it's either on my lap or being held.
This is hands down the best *lap* notebook cooler I've seen so far. Even after several hours of use, I had no heat from the computer on the underside of the xpad. The underside of the xpad is covered with a slightly rough fabric that works comfortably on clothes or bare skin.
Pros:
* no moving parts, so nothing to mysteriously break in a few weeks
* works on lap or table
* very light
* fits in many laptop bags
* design accommodates a wide variety of laptop sizes, intake, and fan configurations
* stiff design won't block air intakes on bottom of laptop
Cons:
* plastic case is slightly deeper than the foam pad; could dig into bare skin, depending on position of of pad.
 Xpad vs. Chopping board June 14, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had the Xpad for a few months now, and I have to admit that I don't use my macbook without it, and I don't get my legs fried anymore (they still get warm though). It's light to carry around, non slippery at all, and I like that I don't have to plug it to a USB port.
However, my first impression was that it looks and feels cheap and crappy. It looked way better online. Don't expect miracles in benchmarks for your CPU's temperature. To compare, I put the Xpad away and started using a plastic chopping board instead for like 20 minutes and I got similar results temperature wise. I would have given the board 1 star cause it would look weird in public; because I think the Xpad does block the heat a little bit better, and because the laptop keeps sliding around. On the board's defense, it wasn't designed for this ;)
