Review on Gaming Laptop Cooling Pad - Strongest Laptop Cooler for 17.3 inch Laptops, Enhanced Heat Dissipation, Colorful Lights, Adjustable Mount Stand, Temperature Reduction by 20-30 Degrees by Dave Hersma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best laptop cooling pads

Most cooling pads have a very similar design with different fan configurations. The AFMAT Cooling Pad is completely different and stands out from the competition. After using it for the past few days, here's my take: Appearance: Very clean lines with LED accents on the sides and bottom. At its lowest setting, it lifts the laptop off the surface by about an inch with a slight back-to-front tilt. It definitely looks like a gamer's cooling pad that I prefer. Features: The laptop sits on a rubber pad and has two front "mounting" clips to prevent the laptop from moving in the event of an accidental impact. For laptops with rear exhaust, there are additional ventilation "hoods" that prevent heated air from flowing back into the cushion. The pillow doesn't use fans to cool the laptop, instead it has two separate fans located near the rear vents. In addition, the ventilation openings are removable, so you can clean the filter mats from time to time. There are also 2 USB ports on the back, one needed to power the device and the other needed to add peripherals. The stand gives you rear height options so you can customize the laptop for better viewing/input. Controls: There are three buttons on the front: SPEED / LED / ON-OFF. The speed button gives you 3 fan speed options (actually 4 when the device is first turned on). With the LED button you can change the colors or switch it off completely with a long press. Overall: I like that this cooling pad uses a rubber grommet that provides an airtight seal, allowing the cold air coming from the fans to be directed upwards. on the bottom of the laptop. For best results, run the fans at full speed (level 3). When playing GTA, Madden, or editing videos, I noticed that the CPU and GPU temperatures were at least 10-15% cooler, which is significant and results in an overall smoother experience. For those with a laptop with fans on the bottom, this is the cooling pad you NEED.
