I love the design. Looks elegant and tough. I have their Storm Scout II case which has the nice design and features that this laptop notepad has. Design well thought out. The fan is quieter than what is on the laptop and that was loud. You can hear the fan but not a whining sound and far lower than the one on the laptop. A whrrr sound. Sturdy too with the fold out legs as well. Using the usb port on the plug has a good secure fit. I use it all the time. Wish I had bought this sooner. Thanks newegg for excellent service.
Totally solid despite my initial misgivings during assembly. It sits at a perfect angle for my wrists.
The size was just right, a bit big for my laptop but works great.
TL/DR: Good product, does like it's supposed to. After adding a nvme to my MSI Camo Squad ( Yeah, I bought one of those in 2017 lol ) giving it new life I was having expected heat issues with throttling regularly. I tried a few different cooling pads however results were disappointing at best. I bought some fans and was going to get out my woodworking tools to hack my laptop desk ( read hospital style mobile tray ) when I seen this cooler dirt cheap with one of the smaller fans looking like it was perfectly positioned to force air into the tiny intakes below the nvme drive. BINGO, dropped from hitting 70c just cruising the hobby forums down to a max of 50c with Steam downloading to the drive, downloading some files for another pc, and CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 benching the drive. To me, thats a win for 20 bucks and change.
- It does 100% as advertised - Drops temps around 10C (even more) - Know how to adjust the pad itself based on your back of laptop
