Good for daily use, suitable for gaming.

I have a Razer Blade Stealth 13 inch laptop. how thin it is and how densely packed all of its internal components are, it's inevitable that the palm rests double as a panini grill. For games I found this cooler ok. Some hope that it meets my requirements. The palm rests are noticeably colder than without the fans running, they're still nice and warm, but definitely not cold as some claim, but for normal web browsing, such as watching videos on Youtube, reading articles, searching Reddit, etc. Me found, This is really nice and really cooled down my computer. The blue LED backlight doesn't really bother me. You can tape up the light leaks or cut the LED wire that powers them if you really want to, but my computer mostly hides this. I would not recommend this cooler for larger laptops due to the performance of the fans. It is not as strong as shown in the sellers video where the fabric flaps in the wind. However, they are more powerful than some other coolers like cheap KLIM coolers (don't buy them, they are terrible). They're not as quiet as I thought, but I think running at that speed sure makes some noise - In case you're wondering, it's more of a low hum than the high-pitched whistling you typically hear in computer towers or PS4. then no, it also doesn't look like a jet engine and with my headset it doesn't bother me at all. My friends told me they couldn't record fan/wind noise on my mic at all, so it doesn't matter. While it doesn't completely cool my PC's aluminum case, it at least makes a good laptop stand and provides some fresh air. In my opinion, this is the cheapest laptop cooler that really gets the job done to an extent. Other coolers under $15 tend to have crappy low-power fans. (PS: When you first get it, you'll find that the air is no more than 3-5 inches from the surface. I've thought about it and realized it would still be entirely unnecessary, since the laptop is always resting on the metal grid anyway. So don't worry.) Edit 07/31/2020: I changed the rating from 3/5 to 4/5 because after a bit of testing I found that it's actually pretty good works and maybe I was too hard. The default display was cool to the touch. Gaming, still a bit warm but not as hot as it would be without the cooler. A good buy in my opinion. The only reason it's not 5/5 is probably the lack of features; A switch for LEDs, a fan throttle, or more free USB ports on the back would be nice, but I guess that's why it's so cheap and simplistic. Just don't expect it to be as good as those fancy $50 or $60 coolers. Okay, this laptop cooler is pretty good! Recommended for such a price :) Well, this laptop cooler is very good!
