Review on πŸ’» HAVIT 5-Fan Laptop Cooling Pad for 14-17 Inch Laptops, Cooler Pad with LED Light, Dual USB 2.0 Ports, Adjustable Mount Stand - Blue by Leonard Babers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally a cooling pad that can cool down my old Behemouth laptop!

I have a 17" Alienware M17x which is about 5 years old and gets so hot that after a few minutes it can no longer be held on my lap and regularly shuts down due to overheating. I bought at least 5 cooling pads like Thermaltake blocks and other well reviewed items. None of them cooled my laptop, at most they kept it warm. And each of them had their own problems. Most, like Thermaltake's block, had plastic feet that cracked and broke relatively easily. sofa, and this huge old laptop was on all day. The laptop feels really cool! I really like the wheel on the side that lets you adjust the fan speed, but even at the highest speeds it's very quiet (many cooling pads have fans that make an annoying whistle). The little feet on the pad do a great job of lifting displays off whatever surface you've installed them on (and they're removable), and they seemed well designed and not prone to breakage. The bright red LEDs almost put me off buying this as I often carry my laptop on my bedside table. At night in a dark room. But my laptop covers the headlights completely, so no problem with that. The ONLY gripe I have to criticize is that a couple of small rubber pads taped to the bottom of the pad fell off and I lost them, but that's minor compared to the fact that this cooling pad actually cools my previously uncooled laptop!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Durable
