Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ SOUNDANCE Laptop Cooling Pad: Low-Noise Fan, USB Hubs, Prevent Overheating, Ergonomic Stand for 17โ€ Gaming Notebook, Aluminum by Adam Ross

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A great fan needs a light switch and a USB port on the side

These are great cooling pads on a solid aluminum platform. The aluminum helps with heat dissipation, but they have silicone pads that prevent the aluminum from making direct contact. You can remove the pads but I prefer not to. Aluminum doesn't rust, which is an important factor when buying in the saltwater environment I live in. The platform holds my 15.4 inch gaming laptop very firmly even when fully raised which is a nice feature. I don't know why everyone is a fan of light these days. There should be an option to turn off the light like some other cooling pads. I hope this option becomes more common. This device also comes with a full USB 3.4 port hub, which is a great addition that other cooling pads don't have. Unfortunately, the hub is on the back of the stand, while most laptops have USB ports on the side. It would make more sense to use a short side-to-side USB cable to minimize cable length. necessary but not a big problem. The rear mount is more of an issue for me because I mount my laptop in a tight space and I don't have easy access to the back. It would be a great benefit to have USB ports on the side. I don't notice any fan noise, so it's not a problem. The price is much higher than the simple plastic blocks, but in this case it is justified by the quality of this block. I highly recommend it, but I deducted a star due to the lack of a light switch and USB ports on the back.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • No
