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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Everything was in order. Best in class Notebook accessories

This pillow is also not designed for wider/larger laptops. I have a MacBook Pro and my laptop is at least 3 inches wider than the cooling pad, but I'll admit I knew that before I bought it. I also use an external mouse with my laptop because I can't stand a trackball with a button. Since my laptop only has two USB ports, one for a mouse and one for a cooling pad, one of them needs to be disabled when I need a USB port. Fan. My clothes often cut off the fan inlet and the small fold-out part was uncomfortable for my feet. I first used some of my college textbooks to provide a flat surface for the cooling pad, but it was too bulky. I started using a fanless flat laptop stand that I received as a gift and never used it as it made my laptop's heat issues worse. With the cooling pad, the front of my laptop is now 2" from the table and the back is over 3". I have to say the worst thing about this fan is the noise it makes. very loud crunching / whine. It did this from the start. I made the mistake of plugging in the tablet first and then putting my laptop on it. Unplugging and plugging the cooling pad again will solve the problem. The cost of care is a real minus. If you use your laptop while sitting at your desk and plan to never move the cooling pad and laptop while using them together, I would suggest buying this product as it is quite cheap.
