Cools well, USB is not straight August 4, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
First of all, I'm very happy with how well this cools the notebook and how quiet it runs.
My only complaint is that the USB is not straight. I appreciate their intention to provide a USB hub to replace the one you're using, but I don't like that the USB now has a sideways pointing wire coming from it. On my Dell XPS, I can only use the USB port on the right side of my notebook, which means that I have to use this pad backwards. Instead of the air flowing out the back of the device, the warm air flows towards me. This may be nice in the winter, but it was 95 degrees here today.
I wish they would provide 2 cords with the device- the one currently provided and a straight one without a USB hub.
 Still Running Hot July 29, 2008
I have had this cooler for almost two years and all I can say is that it seems to work "ok". My lap still gets plenty hot even with the use of this product. To prevent slippage, I ended up using velcro squares and its now velcroed to the bottom of my laptop. That works great, but I had to buy those velcro squares. All in all, I'd not really recommend this product, nor have I in the past two years of owning it.
 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.
