Antec Notebook Cooler Mini

Pros: Quiet, reliable (4 months of non-stop use, not a single issue).

Cons: Doesn't move a ton of air, but still does the job well.

Other Thoughts: I'm actually using this to cool a Linksys E3000 wireless router. They're about the same width and the air path hits the bottom of the router nicely. Where it would get very warm to the touch before, it now doesn't heat up at all. If you have an E3000, I highly recommend this to keep it cool.

Pros: Compact design gives extra space for other junk
Doubles as an incline, naturally
Great looks
Quiet

Cons: Wish it had a place to tuck the cable away or latch the usb end onto the case

Other Thoughts: Tested on my netbook for normal usage conditions. Without the fan I was reaching 60-62c while with the fan the temperature went down to 54-55c.

Pros: I bought two in Canada at $5 each which is an excellent deal. The air blow very quiet and cool down my two Acer computers efficiently. I recommand this if not need a professional cooler.

Cons: If the USB plug could be attach with other USB plug on top, it will save one USB connection.

Other Thoughts: Very handly for travel.

Pros: It works as advertised. The shipping was fast. Ordered this guy on Sunday and arrived today on Tuesday. Immediately put it too good use and saw immediate results. The temperature went down 5-6 degrees C! And it hasn't stopped yet :D.

Cons: One of the pads came off the moment I opened the package. I didn't take a star off since I just placed it back where it belongs and its sticking there...so far.

Other Thoughts: I've only had this cooler for one day, so we'll see how it fairs within the next couple of weeks.

Pros: Light and packable. Decent cooler.

Cons: As mentioned the pads come off easily fairly easily.
a better grade cement would be a plus, subtracted one egg.
USB plug will allow you to plug in another device but the affect the power draw.

Other Thoughts: Wolfe is definitely using this wrong, back of the laptop should rest on the rubber pads. leaving the fan exposed.

Different power output on USB ports may affect you airflow, may want to try different ports for best performance.

Pros: Extremely portable and low profile, great airflow. Excellent cooler for the price.

Cons: The adhesive that holds the top rubber grip pads (which support the laptop) is quite weak, I barely shifted my laptop and both pads were slid out of place. Not a huge problem but after that happened, the adhesive is basically done so I guess Ill get some construction grade double-sided tape the next time I'm at home depot.

Pros: Brought down my temperatures under full GPU load by a degree or two, moves a lot of air despite it's small size.

Cons: Although the design wouldn't suggest this at first glance, the fan blows more to the left than the right. On my Asus G73, this sends more air towards the CPU, when I really bought this to provide some extra cooling for my GPU.

Other Thoughts: I bought this when it was on sale for $7.99 (Shell Shocker Deal), which I'd say was a great price for even the slightest degree of extra cooling. Probably wouldn't have bought it for the regular price however. Originally I thought that the rear exhaust outlets of my laptop would impede the cooler by feeding it hot air, but the air coming out of the fan seems to always remain icy cold. I'm interested in trying out a more expensive cooling pad, but this is a nice, cheap, portable solution when every bit of cooling counts.

Pros: Inexpensive...

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: The rear of your laptop should sit on the two pads on cooler. This allows the cooler to blow air under your unit to help cooling. Your laptop does NOT sit on top of this cooler.

Pros: Small allowing it to work well on smaller laptop tables. We have Acer, HP and Compaq laptops in my house and all stay considerably cooler with this.

Cons: 3 months of using and no cons to date.

Other Thoughts: Having used numerous other laptop coolers, this is by far the best. In others fans have died quickly, hardly put out any air and one has even melted from the laptop being on it. Quality for price, this is second to none.

Pros: small, light, solid design and material. quiet with noticeable air flow

Cons: can create an odd front print which can be a nuisance in an area that is small relative to the computer to be cooled, like a tray table or bar top. Cooling help isn't fabulous but it does make a difference, can't use it on your lap
