I've experimented with many laptop coolers. I started with the X-Series at the X2, which was a wonderful cooler and worked well for me. I wanted something that pushed more air though... So I picked up an X3 which did the trick, but it was too bulky to move around. Here's the list of pros: -Pushes more air than the X3 at optimal -Very mobile -Great cable management, No separate cables to get lost/mixed up. -Very comfortable on the lap, and still pulls air from the sides. -Solid construction -You can /feel/ the difference in the temperatures when it's running. -Silent running It keeps my laptop cool when gaming and with heavy video editing, which is why I picked it up.
Totally solid despite my initial misgivings during assembly. It sits at a perfect angle for my wrists.
- Fans are not loud at top speed - Works as advertised - Easy to travel with
- It does 100% as advertised - Drops temps around 10C (even more) - Know how to adjust the pad itself based on your back of laptop
Fits my laptop perfectly. Looks cool with the blue lights. Works exactly as it should.
