Enermax Aeolus Notebook Cooling Pad CP001-B

Pros: Really moves the air, can see the difference it makes in laptop performance. Will buy more.

Cons: Don't use it on your lap. Won't function properly, very uncomfortable to try.

Pros: Very good build quality. The construction of the unit all in all is very solid and well thought out. Large fan for cooling notebook computer or any other device...I think it would be a decent PS3 cooler too...two different fan speeds are selectable. ability to turn the LED lights on or off. elevates computer to level that is very suitable for typing.

Cons: there are two fan speeds, low and high. i wish that the high setting was a faster speed. it just doesn't blow enough air for my needs. i will continue to use it but i don't think you can count on dramatic reductions in temperatures. my macbook core 2 duo at 2 ghz per core, with a 7200 rpm hard drive adds enough heat that this laptop cooler just can't handle. the notebook doesn't even have a dedicated video card...but the other components are hot enough to need decent cooling.

Overall Review: Overall, a good unit. But don't expect the high fan setting to cool off your computer a lot.

Pros: Very quiet, but still moves a lot of air. It has a very sleek, modern design that doesn't clash with anything I own.

Cons: Not a very comfortable thing to have on your lap, but it serves it purpose. And if you can get in the right position, it'll feel fine on your lap... it's jsut hard to find the right position...

Overall Review: The LED's are a nice touch. And for the price, you get a good deal for performance, style, and elegance. Definitely recommended. The reason it only gets 4 eggs is that it is uncomfortable while on the lap.

Pros: with the $20 mail in rebate, it is definitely worth it. the fan is almost silent, but moves a lot of air. it doesn't just cool spots, either; it cools the whole laptop. the LED's are a nice touch, too.

Cons: none

Overall Review: worth it at any price, but with the rebate, its a must-have.

Pros: 1) Sleek design, cool aluminum. 2) Fan perfectly hit the hotspot on my Dell Inspiron 1420. 3) So silent, I had to check a few times to make sure it was even running!

Cons: As others have stated, the speed can be a bit too slow for other laptops. I liked this cooler, but after ~2 weeks, the fan started to slightly wobble, thus hitting the plastic sides and making a noticable noise. Main reason for this cooler was for leaving it on overnight on my desk, but this pretty much rendered it as a stand so my laptop's fans would have some room. Of course, the RMA is 20 days and this just happened to occur on the 19th day after receiving. :(

Overall Review: I would've given it 5 eggs if the poor thing hadn't started making that noise. It's still usable during the day, since I'll be listening to music anyway, but the main point of an overnight cooler was ruined.

Pros: VERY QUIET! Large enough for my 17" Alienware Aurora m9700. The large fan is better suited for my laptop than the 2 small fans placed in the wrong spot on some other coolers; this fan gets all the hot spots on the bottom of my laptop. The bottom of my laptop is nice and cool, as well as my legs. The construction is well built and durable. On/off switch for blue LED light, plus a 2 speed fan setting with an off switch.

Cons: The highest fan speed is not very fast, therefore it might not cool down certain laptops enough. If it is used on a lap, which is where my computer sits most of the time, the back edges can hurt, I suggest putting something cushiony between the metal and one's legs. My CD drive is on the front of my laptop and I have to lift the front end of my laptop to get the tray to open, this is not a big deal since I do not use the drive that often, but the front lip of the stand does block the drive from opening.

Overall Review: I would have rated it a 5, but the slowness of the fan speed lost it a point. I am very happy to find a cooler that fits my needs in all the right places, I highly recommend this to anyone that has a large notebook, a hot lap/table, or wants to improve the quality and life of their laptop.

Pros: Looks cool, nice finish quiet,

Cons: Does not fit a 17" HP Laptop, Fan is only guarded by thin plastic. Not designed for you lap shap edges.

Pros: -good looks -its made of high quality aluminum and that by itself dissipate the heat quite well -good angel to type -my laptop fans are louder then this on high -lowered my overall temp by about 25 degrees F

Cons: -heavy, but if you leave it on your desk like its meant to be used it doesnt matter -isnt a con for me, but i would say this cooling pad is meant more for the lower-mid range laptop.

Overall Review: this is definitely a cooling pad for a desk, if you plan i taking it with you and setting it on your lap dont bother getting it. also i would say this isnt for high end laptops that have a higher demand on staying cool. overall this cooling pad was a wise investment for me i could see a big improvment in the performance of my laptop after i set the system up.
