Review on 🖥️ SANOXY Laptop Notebook Cool Pad: Enhance Performance with Portable Cooling by Andre Parsons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cooling pads and external fans are not convincing

About $5 is fine. If you're shopping or on sale at Fry's, you can get the Targus for a few bucks more and get a better cooling pad. I like the LED lights. But they serve no real purpose. For example, they don't light up your keyboard at night, and during the day you won't even notice they're on. And there are a few design flaws. First, if you're trying to get a feel for how much the fans are sucking and put your hand on one of them, you can easily stick your finger in and get caught in the fan blades. You won't lose your finger, but it will surprise you enough to only do it once. Second, the fans just aren't that powerful. The cases surrounding each fan are about 1/4 inch from the solid surface on which the stand rests, assuming you're not trying to balance the laptop on your lap on this cooling pad. This severely limits fans' ability to draw. Heat from the bottom of the laptop. By simply lifting the edge of the cooling pad when it's on, you can place your hand on the fans and feel the difference in suction when there's more than 1/4 inch clearance under the fan. Fences. This is a design flaw. When my laptop is resting on a cooling pad, I don't expect hot air to escape sideways. With the Targus I had kept the car so cool that no hot air was coming out of the laptop. . Hot air always comes out of this stand, so the question is whether it cools at all. I wouldn't buy one for $5 either. Will be buying another Targus ice pack soon. They are simply better designed and cool the laptop more efficiently.

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • New competition
