Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ Enhanced Cooling Performance with the Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Pad by Michael Ward

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Staying cool naturally

The heart beats. This is convection, one of the basic laws of thermodynamics that we all learn in elementary school. Most laptops and laptops have vents on the bottom through which the computer's internal fans pull air into the device and exhaust it through the side or rear vents. There's an ongoing debate as to whether a USB laptop cooler with a fan should extend to the bottom of the computer or draw heat away from the base of the laptop (like most). Heat dissipation from the bottom of the laptop can (according to some reports) actually damage the computer as it works against the computer's internal fan and can actually make it work harder, not to mention drain the laptop's battery is discharged faster. where the Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad is a little different. It works in conjunction with the laptop or laptop fan, not against it. It's all about keeping heated air away from electronics and components that crowd into tight spaces inside a computer, and this laptop cooler does a great job of doing that. and do it silently. When you turn on the laptop and run your hand through the vents on the sides, back, and bottom, you'll feel the airflow. Most new laptops have a fan that rises and expels heat through a side or back panel. Heat rises and this makes Belkin's design ideal as it encourages natural convection to cool the laptop. Another thing to consider when looking at these things is the actual shape of the cooling pad. If there is no airflow, the air will not pass no matter how powerful the fan is. At first glance, when I took it out of the box, this cooling pad seemed pretty thin, but it wasn't. Case. It's made of white, high-impact plastic, which not only saves weight but also proves to be more durable than expected. It weighs about 1.5 lbs, measures 12.6" W x 11.6" D x 1" H, and fits easily in my Lowepro Messenger Factor M computer bag, which is designed for 15.4" laptops. ". On the bottom there is a cover for the USB cable, which doubles as a foot to ergonomically support the computer and provide excellent air circulation. It also has rubberized surfaces to prevent the computer from falling during of use, which is way better than some all-metal laptop coolers I've had.And if white isn't your thing, there's always the Belkin F5L001-BLK Black Laptop Cooling Pad as an alternative.Pros: - Low power consumption over your laptop's USB port - Keeps laptop/laptops cool - Keeps user's knees cool - Great price Cons: - No USB port on cooling pad Check your computer to see how many USB ports you have, and plan ahead I was aware when ordering that this product does not have a USB port, but as I already own this Targus Wired Laser Pack laptop kit I just plug in its compact four USB hub Connections into the USB port of the laptop. Then connect the laptop cooling pad USB cable to it, which will quickly fix the problem. It is recommended that even with this laptop cooling pad, you do not place your laptop on a cushion or cushion that could block airflow. If this happens, place a large book or a hard, flat object underneath to help air circulate. Also, avoid using in places with a lot of dust, loose fibers (e.g. carpets or ceilings) or places where pet hair collects, as it may affect the efficiency of the fans inside the computer and inside the computer. cooling pad. I have a variety of laptop cooling products. The iConcepts M10417-MB minimalist x-shaped laptop cooler performs surprisingly well, running strictly thermodynamically without the use of fans. I've also had guys with multiple fans that sound like an airplane taking off, and some of them are actually draining the computer's battery. I personally think this Belkin product is the best of all. Forgive the ambiguity, that doesn't suck; It blows out the air naturally and uses convection to do its job naturally. Highly recommended.
