Review on Havit 5 Fans Laptop Cooling Pad: Enhanced Cooling Performance for 14-17 Inch Laptops, LED Light, Dual USB 2.0 Ports, Adjustable Stand (Black) by Walter Martin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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

I have a 17 inch 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 for 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 good job Work the pad from any surface it sits on (and they can be removed) and they seemed well designed and not prone to breakage. The bright red LEDs almost put me off buying this as I often have my laptop on my bedside table in a dark room at night. 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 a minor thing compared to the fact that this cooling pad has mine previously uncooled laptop actually cools!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
