Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of DataStor UNBCPX Three-Fan Notebook Cooling Pad
Customer Review: Simply Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am usually not inclined to write reviews but simply had to for this product. First, I ordered it on Monday and it arrived today! Once out of the box and comfortably under my HP DV9000 laptop, I plugged it into a USB port adn powered it up. The three fans are super quiet (the fan in my laptop is louder!) and they almost immediately started lowering the temperature of my laptop.
I know most people are concerned with the temperature of their laptops while resting on their legs. I solved that problem with one of the Hampton Inn's laptop desks (a nice leather cushion under a wooden desktop). My temperature issue was with the wrist rest on the laptop. I have two 120GB hard drives under the wrist rest and the temperature can get hot enough that I'm unable to put my hands there for more than a few minutes at a time. The DataStor cooling pad has done the trick in lowering the temperature to the point where I'll be able to go hours without having to worry about burning my hands!
I highly recommend this product! I may have to even order a few spares!
I'll drop back to update the review with durability results once I start hitting the road with the cooling pad.
Customer Review: Quiet and Chill
Summary: 5 Stars
Works better than expected. It is extremely quiet, provides lots of circulation with 3 fans, and most importantly it keeps my laptop cool. Prior to this purchase, my laptop would burn up in a matter of minutes... not anymore. I originally thought it would be too small for my 17" widescreen Thinkpad, but it actually fits it very good. The USB power is the right length and not too long. No complains. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Nothing more, nothing less.
UPDATE: About 2 months ago after 1.5 years of use, I began to notice an increase in fan noise. It gradually increased to a loud hum and became unusable. With a little bit of investigation and some 3-in-1 lubricating oil, the chill pad is back in operation and quieter than ever. It's simple... On the back side of the chill pad, remove the large product label and put a small drop of lubricating oil on each of the exposed fan spindles. That's it... just like new now. I'm still giving it 5 stars because I think a little bit of preventative maintenance is reasonable considering it has moving parts.
Customer Review: Stay away till they improve the power cord
Summary: 5 Stars
Original review - read on below for updated review - Works great so far. Has three fans which do the job for my 15 inch laptop. Fits those 12-13 inch laptops perfectly, it works great for me anyways. Have it for over two weeks now and my laptop no longer gets hot - and I have quite a lot of servers running on my laptop- it used to get hot and stay hot - but now everything works great.
Got it from another seller itholic for 8 bucks plus 5 for shipping and for the combined 13 bucks, couldnt have asked for a better product to keep my laptop running smoothly.
Will edit this comment if I notice any changes in this product.
UPDATE!!!The power cable is too loose and does not hold well into the cooler. Avoid buying this unless the improve the power cord. Works well when it does hold up.
Customer Review: Worth It
Summary: 5 Stars
This cooling pad is the best one I have found so far. I have owed four other cooling pads from various companies.
The Datastar pad has a third fan which helps cool my laptop very efficiently. My laptop is a Medion which tend to run hotter than most other laptops. This pad works very well.
The pad is also very durable and thin. I have owned it for over a year, use it for hrs at a time(even 24)and take it with me wherever I go with my laptop. It fits nicely in my laptop bag side pocket.
The pad is quiet compared to most. I did own a pad that was quieter, but not as powerful.The USB cord seems durable as this was one of the problems I had with other pads (cord breaking inside).
I highly recommend this pad for the money.
Customer Review: A Cool Way to Keep Your LapTop Cool
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so glad I purchased this Cooling Pad! I was constantly listening to my laptop fan run harder and harder - even though I have it positioned on a wide board so the internal fan stays clear and gets the air it needs. The second I set this pad up and plugged in the USB cord, I was amazed at how fast the noise was reduced and the temperature on the keyboard went down. I sincerely think this cooling pad will lengthen the life of my hard drive because the laptop runs much faster and easier now. The pad is just a little smaller than my laptop but they fit together very well and the laptop sits securely on top of the Cooling Pad. I use the Cooling Pad every day and will continue to do so.
