Pros: I've been using this pad for a month with my Sager 15.6" laptop. The laptop fan definitely runs slower or not at all when I am using the cooling pad, and the pad's fans are much quieter than my laptop fan so it's definitely worth it. The temperatures run noticeable lower on my laptop. I like that I can angle the cooling pad up. It brings the screen to a good height on my desk. It's great for the price.

Cons: The USB connector is the biggest drawback. The cord comes out the side of the connector and there is a little tab beside it. If I plug it into my laptop, this blocks the connector that's beside my USB port. It would have been much better if the power cord came out the top of he connector. I generally plug it into a USB hub so it's not a big deal then. Just something to keep in mind if you are considering it.

Pros: does its job and well

doesn't take up a USB slot completely

Cons: at first it was perfectly quiet, but after a week there is a slight coil whine from one of the fans. Honestly I don't hear it unless it is dead quiet in my dorm room.

There's this tab on the USB plug that to me has no purpose, maybe it's to help pull it out, but it just blocks other USB ports so I cut it off.

Pros: Everything, the fans are strong and quiet, the USB port on the plug works great, I'm very happy with the product

Cons: None

Pros: Surprisingly good build quality, USB pass through doesn't waste a port, 2 fan design for better coverage

Cons: Much thicker than expected combined with the location of the hold plates makes the keyboard almost unusable, airflow is pathetic, I got maybe 5°C improvement

Pros: 1.Does not make noise.
2.Provides enough air to cool the laptop.
3.Light weight good quality.
4.Worth Buy.
5.The Two way USB connector doesn't waste your laptop port.

Cons: No cons

Pros: Perfect size for my work laptop
Nice looking design
Cooling fans powered by USB
USB Pass-through
Very adjustable
Saves space once occupied by the laptop
Raises laptop screen to eye level

Cons: It could hold the cord in place better when the cord is not being used

Other Thoughts: I've looked into a lot of laptop pads and this is the only one I could find that fits my needs and doesn't look cheap. I wanted a pad that was adjustable to where I could have my laptop's screen at eye level with my monitor at work and this works perfectly for that, I'm able to raise it up as a high enough angle to achieve that and I'm not much more comfortable throughout the day without having to constantly look down at the screen. My laptop is plugged in and sitting on the desk 24/7, so this works great as a permanent solution.

I don't really have any overheating problems with the laptop, so I can't really comment on the effectiveness of the fans as I don't use them, but they are definitely quiet enough to use in an office environment.

Overall, I am very satisfied this this product and would buy another if I ever need it.

Pros: This little thing works magic! It's actually not a lightweight - and it pulls it's own weight and more. it's not heavy but it's not light either. You know you have it on your lap or wherever you use it. Definitely works as advertised. It's a great buy!

Cons: Sorry, but I don't have any cons for this item. Maybe that's a good thing!

Other Thoughts: I really do think this is a very good cooling pad. It's everything I said about it.

Pros: Great design, very unique. The unit is extremely stable and motionless when actively using the laptop. Table top has a mesh honeycomb screen allowing airflow to travel throughout the entire surface. The device perfectly fits my Sager NP8651 (Clevo P650SE) which has the following dimensions: 15.16" (w) x 10.67" (d). The construction is solid and I love the variable leveling the unit offers.

Cons: Okay, the downside. Both Newegg and the manufacturer boast fan speeds at 1000+/-10%RPM with 92.22CFM and 26.3dB(A). No way, no how, not even likely! I'm sorry, although the architecture definitely allows for air flow to travel throughout the entire tray, the amount of air this device produces is pathetic and nowhere near 1000rpm or even 92cfm. Upon start up the fans whine like an old man getting out of bed and only get to a speed powerful enough to send a light breeze to dust your arm hairs. Would be great if this device had a built in fan control system.

Other Thoughts: I'm hoping this one was a defect and plan to return for an exchange. Upon receiving my replacement I will update my review accordingly.

Pros: This is the cooling pad I've been looking for since buying my laptop. I could never find one with the fans to the side, since my intake was near the side of my pc. It has a fan on each side, so whichever side yours is on, you are covered. It is very quiet, and blows a TON of air! The build quality is excellent as well. It is rock solid when I use the keyboard on my laptop, and I have it propped up quite a lot. The little flip out tabs to hold the laptop up are also very solid. I can't see them breaking off. Lastly, it has a USB pass-through on the USB plug, so it doesn't take up a port at all.

Cons: No cons, honestly just a good, solid product.

Other Thoughts: This thing is fantastic. I highly recommend the U PAL if your intake is on the side of your laptop.
