Cons: The con is definitely the switch. There is no on and off. They could implement that by spending a few extra cents, I guess? You have to unplug it in order to turn the whole thing off.
Other Thoughts: A few thoughts came to my mine after using it for 3 months. First, again with the missing on and off switch. Second, you should always use the DC Adapter. It takes a lot of power so you do not want to overload your USB port. Third, yesterday I was reviewing my math exam and I accidentally pushed a paper toward the fan area. It hit with the fan. While the overall design is pretty and consice, its base does not have any protection cover for the base fans. Just be careful with it.
Last but not the least, with 3 extra usb ports, again, use the DC adapter.
OH OH. MAKE SURE YOU GOOGLE THINGS BEFORE YOU PURHCASE ANY LAPTOP COOLER. Your base has to match with the cooler van in order to get the cooling effect. Last time I purchased an Antec one and I did not do my hw, I had to resell it as second hand (luckly only a dollar short) because my laptop would not get the cooling work.

Its a well designed notebook cooler

Pros: Very well designed notebook cooler. The Aluminum design is high tech and the materials used is a good choice. The Rubber material keeps it from falling off the cooler. Also the fans are high quality.
Cons: I got this for a customer. The bearings in one of the fans or maybe both of them didn't sound good. But it worked its way out, however might need manufacturer to check into it. You can hear it if you listen to the fans.
Other Thoughts: Hopefully NZXT might be able to build something like this with also a low profile design, and slimmer.

Not what I thought

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Sturdy, Doesn't look like it's going to bend or break anytime soon. Keeps my laptop cool enough so that it doesn't overheat but just barely
Extra USB ports are nice.
Cons: The rubber finish on top that's supposed to keep the laptop from sliding off doesn't work at all. I have to use the laptops little nub lifts at the end to hook it over to top.
The fan HAS to be on max or else it doesn't push any air at all. The whole unit has to be propped up as well because there isn't enough clearance on the bottom for airflow. (I have mine on top of some thick books)
No off switch so plugging it into the wall socket is pointless unless you have something plugged into the USB and it needs more power.
USB slots aren't in easy access area.
Other Thoughts: I'd replace the stock fans for something better. The unit itself isn't too bad except that you need to find a way to keep your laptop from sliding off.
