Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of USB Powered and Most Efficient Metal Cooler Pad with 3 Built-in Fans for Laptop ComputerCustomer Review: A well spent 20 bucks. Summary: 5 Stars
Having a 17" laptop (Dell Inspiron 9400/E1705), most cooling pads on the market don't quite fit. Many of them are designed for 15" or so sized laptops, so a 17" widescreen laptop will of course have couple inches hanging outside of the pad surface. So does this pad.
But this one is just perfect. No doubt about it.
Why? It almost seems like it was built for the 9400. Because the 9400 has two vents, one on the top left corner and another on the top right corner(one for CPU and the other for GPU since I have GeForce Go 7900 GS which has an extra fan). The vents have openings both on top (the keyboard side) and on the buttom which draw air and blow out the back side (next to the power coard, VGA video out, ethernet slot, etc).
As I've mentioned, this pad is for 15" laptops, so if I align the pad with the center of the laptop, there will be approximately 1" margin on each sides hanging outside the pad. But this way the buttom side of the two vent openings are actually elevated in mid-air, which is a perfect spot for air to move freely upwards.
You might wonder, then the 3 fans on the pad don't really help anymore? Actually they help tramendously. Because the SODIMM RAM slots of the Inspiron are located in the dead center of the buttom of the laptop, where hot air gather and not much cool air is circulating. So the location of the 3 fans on the pad basically blows away any and all accumulated hot air.
With the help of the cooling pad, the temperatures on the CPU, GPU, and memory chips can drop almost 40, 35, 20 degrees Fahrenheit respectively when running a demanding task (such as playing BattleField 2 at highest resolution).
The other reviews provided on this page pretty much covered all the great design details and features of the cooling pad. However I do want to point out that the company actually changed the USB cord part to make it removable (perhaps it saw the review below?), and now it's just perfect.
If I must complain about something, then I would say the fact that it has such a long and descriptive name (or lack therof) is quite annoying. Oh and the box that it comes in is kinda ugly.
But for a mere 20 dollars, give your laptop a good pad on the buttom.
