 Noisy and poorly designed August 28, 2008
I bought this to replace an Antec cooler I've had for a couple of years. I quickly discovered that this single fan cooler is actually much noisier than my older 2-fan Antec.
It also has an odd concave shape that makes your laptop wiggle if it is not sized just right. Or you'll have to push your laptop up to center it and have the cooler base stick out of the bottom. Which makes it uncomfortable if you're used to placing your hands on the palmrest.
 GREAT CONCEPT POOR QUALITY August 23, 2008
Belkin clearly provided the specs for this unit to an Asian manufacturer which produced the cheapest quality product possible...I would venture to say that this item is worth no more than maybe $10 with the packaging reflecting at least $1.50 of that cost. Make no mistake, it is probably the best available currently but it will soon be replaced by better quality from another manufacturer. I purchased two thus far and had to return one because of a very noisy fan...Better you should wait for a superior product if you can.
Very shoddy and noisy August 17, 2008
Much like the review by Phyllis Staff (Dallas, Texas USA), the cooler lasted only a few months before the port for the connector disappeared and left it useless. Not that it was much use before then anyway.
I think it worked well for about a month and a half and then the fan was just so incredibly loud - I was somewhat relieved when the thing finally died all together a month later.
Just a real piece of crap.
Plus the fan is just located in the middle, and the hot spots on my laptop are on the edges.
I now have the Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler and it is so much nicer. The air covers the entire area under the laptop and it is quiet as a mouse.
Been using two a few weeks now and one is very noisy August 17, 2008
This notebook cooler seems a little on the flimsy/cheap end. I've been using two of them for a few weeks. One of them has already started being very noisy. Not pleasant! The other one is in a more noisy environment but it is quieter (but definitely no where near silent - it's still noisier than I'd like). I am concerned about how long these units will last. I also think there should be at least two fan speed settings, like low and high.
 Solid August 12, 2008
Solid design. Nice sleek white, much different from the run of the mill silver looking stands. Sits comfortably in the lap, and has a good height on a table or desk. I keep the kick stand out, keeps the keep board at nice angle for typing. Perfect size for my laptop (MACBOOK PRO), which can get really hot and the fans can get really loud, still trying to figure out why that is. Either way the fan is pretty quiet, much more quiet than my laptop's. Have not experienced that reported smell in the video review about the rubber stops on the top so that's good.
Thus far, it has been very effective at maintaining a low fan speed, especially when I'm running multiple apps, however I have noticed that the temp of my CPU remains rather high, but others like the battery, enclosure bottom and heatsinks remain relatively low. All in all, a solid product; I would recommend.
