TECKNET Laptop Cooling Pad, Portable Slim Quiet USB Powered Laptop Notebook Cooler Cooling Pad Stand Chill Mat with 3 Blue LED Fans, Fits 12-17 Inches (Black)

My 2015 MacBook had been running quite warm for the past year. I positioned a small fan behind the laptop, and put it on a metal platform that allowed air to circulate under it, which helped to cool it down for awhile. When the weather here started creeping up into the 80s, despite the little box fan running behind it, the laptop again started to become uncomfortably warm. I should state here that am not a gamer (on my laptop, anyway) and just use it for the usual- surfing, email, writing, some streaming. A basic casual computer user. I am on the laptop for five or six hours a day, running multiple applications. After the desk fan was proving inadequate to cool off the laptop, I started researching “computer cooling fans” on Amazon, and discovered these under-computer fans. I must confess that this whole world of under-computer fan platform arrays was unknown to me. I found that this particular model kept coming up during Google searches for “best fans to cool down your computer.” It also had quite a few positive reviews on Amazon. That surprised me, as it was consistently the lowest-priced of all of the recommended fans on many of the lists I found. After about three days of research, I decided to order this TECKNET Cooling Pad. The positive reviews are right on. I’ve only had it for about a week, but it’s working great to keep my overheating older laptop cool. The computer rarely- every now and then- does get a bit warm, especially when the weather is hot. However, the Cooling Pad brings its temperature down fast. When I came out to the computer desk about a half hour ago to check my emails- it’s in the 80s here today, and the portable air conditioner in the living room hadn’t been running all morning- the laptop was quite warm, despite the fan running behind it. About two minutes after turning on this TEKNET Cooling Platform, it cooled down precipitously right away. I’m checking it, and the part that gets the warmest- the area around the keyboard- is now totally cool to the touch. That’s an impressive drop in temperature. I wish I had the ability to measure this difference in temperature of the computer, before and after turning on this fan unit as some reviewers did, to demonstrate the efficiency of this product. But believe me- the quick change from uncomfortably warm to nice and cool is impressive. When I picked up the box this item was in after Amazon dropped it off, I was kind of shocked at how light it was. I took the TECKNET Cooling Pad out of its box, and it felt sort of cheap and flimsy. Truthfully, its construction *is* a bit on the flimsy side. It’s not giving the impression its going to break into pieces without warning or anything like that, but I’m glad my laptop always stays on the desk, so I don’t have to move the Cooling Pad around too much. When I initially plugged the Pad in to my computer and turned it on, just to check it out, the fans appeared wimpy as far as their power to move air effectively. But, despite my initial impressions, this Cooling Pad is performing very well. It is surpassing all of my expectations. It's also *really* quiet. I never hear it. There are a few fans running near me in the apartment along with the a/c, and these easily drown out any possible sounds from the Pad running. However, I do get up late at night to work on the computer. When I turn the Cooling Pad on, I can barely hear it. The blue lights are also a nice touch. I’ve had my laptop on that metal frame that elevates it at an angle about an inch above the desk’s surface for at least six months. So I am very used to the height and angle of that platform. The Cooling Pad, with the little feet at the back deployed, is holding it at a different angle now. So far, typing hasn’t been too uncomfortable, but it is a bit awkward. The longer I type on the laptop at this new angle, the easier it will become, as I will get used to it. There is a caveat. Although the Cooling Pad has a textured surface, with two little rubber things embedded in it toward the bottom that I think are meant for keeping laptops on the Pad from slipping down its surface, my laptop has slipped down a few times now. Were I not sitting right in front of it to stop it as it moved, the computer might have slid off of the Cooling Pad and fallen to the floor. So I have to make sure if I step away from the laptop that I close it up, take it off of the Cooling Pad, and put it somewhere stable on the desk until I can get back to it. I might install some velcro underneath the laptop to hold it to the Pad, but for now, moving it to where it is safe is not a problem. Just be aware that while your computer feels like it is sitting securely on top of the Cooling Pad, that may not be the case. (There are slight depressions in the surface of the Cooling Pad- like a sort of a “trough-” that the bottom of my laptop fits into. This “trough” is shallow, but it is there to hold the computer in place. I’m just not going to take the chance that the laptop won’t slide.) Pros: inexpensive; quiet; very effective at cooling; the glowing blue color is fun. Cons: computer does occasionally still get a bit warm (though it cools down fast); I’m not used to the new typing angle; laptop has proved prone to slipping forward. But those cons in no way are enough to inspire me to tell you not to buy this device. Other than those minor concerns, I totally recommend it! I also, as per the card enclosed with the unit recommends, registered my new Cooling Pad with TECKNET. (If you register your product, the company extends the warranty for 36 months.) I never got a confirmation email that my registration was successful (it had been.) I emailed TECKNET to check what had happened, and got a reply from them within an hour. That’s a good sign that TECKNET gives good customer service, and is responsive to their customer’s questions. I’m very glad I decided to go with this less expensive, but highly recommended, Cooling Pad. While it was inexpensive, and it’s not the most robust device, it is fantastic at doing its job.

I was a little apprehensive about using a laptop cooling pad (being too bulky, etc.) and to be honest, I really never heard of them. That said, I'm really happy I decided to try the TECKNET Laptop Cooling Pad. It's not very bulky at all, I bought the 3-fan model since I think 5 or 6 fans is a little overkill other companies are selling. The TECKNET Cooling Pad was super-easy to set up -- all that was needed is to plug in the supplied USB cable (you need to supply your own USB adapter), turn on the switch at the back of the unit and your laptop will be chilling in no time. There is very much adequate airflow to cool my Lenovo laptop. This cooling pad is lightweight and seems pretty durable so far. The top grate is made of metal, and the bottom is plastic. It's also comfortable to type as it does not sit up too high which is another reason why I chose a cooling pad design that was a lower profile. There are adjustable feet at the back of the unit if you want it set up on an incline (plus there will be even more airflow). All-in-all, I'm very pleased with my purchase and having peace of mind that my laptop is working at an optimum level is well worth it!

Works well enough, though I think the two fans should be in the back, not the front. I end up using mine backwards, and so the usb cord is in front and its a little bothersome. Other than that, it helps keep my laptop cooler. It does have some noticeable white noise with the fans, but its not super loud. If you use it on your lap, the plastic on bottom is not the most comfortable, but if its something you plan to use on a desk it is fine.

I'd say this product is phenomenal but I'd be lying... it's beyond phenomenal ! I'm working on creative projects that take hours of time and I didn't want my laptop to overheat at any point. This product here took all my concerns away...the noise level is almost non existent while performing excellent, my laptop doesn't hang over the sides, and It's actually really sturdy & durable for the price point. It's a usb 2.0 to USB connector, literally plug it in and flip the switch. Absolutely amazing product and I would highly recommend it

This product works great. It's spacious enough for various laptop sizes. The fans are very quiet and provide good ventilation. I use it with a 14-inch laptop, and it's been a huge help in keeping my device cool. I really like that it has an on/off switch and an extra USB-A port for low-power devices. The colorful lights aren't my favorite, but you get used to them. Very satisfied with this product!

This cooling fan does a fantastic job. It cools my PC well beyond what the specs say. The fans are fairly quiet. It is notable that the USB port is not USB A it's USB C. I didn't notice this when purchasing but a dongle is worth it for the cost savings compared to more expensive models. I like the overall design of this product.

Really nice and effective, I like to game but wanted to preserve the life of my laptop's fans, so this was a good solution- it also seems to help games avoid lagging since my laptop isn't working as hard to cool itself. The cord it comes with is a little short, but it's not difficult to replace.

I bought this cooling pad a little over 3 months ago. It does cool my laptop to a point that the temperature doesn't bother me. It might even be slightly more efficient than some other cooling pads of similar prices that I tried, but this maybe just because one of the fan happens to be directly under the hot spot of my laptop. My problem with this cooling pad is that it has a pretty noticeable vibration that I can feel even just putting my hands on the table top without touching the laptop. This might also because my desk is pretty flimsy, and I tried to get used to it, but it gets distracting sometimes. So far I might still give this cooling pad 4 stars, but a week or so ago, one of the fan started making a kind of clicking noise. I took the mesh apart to tried to fix it, but couldn't see what was wrong without risking breaking it even more.
