 WHY DIDN'T I BUY TWO?!?!??! December 3, 2008
Lawd, this is the best thing I bought for black friday. I can finally type on my laptop without feeling like i'm touching a stove. And the best part - I barely notice it!!!
The only con is the strong blue light. Honestly, I might just get a small black sliver of tape and end that right there. Other than that, It's beautiful and I wish I would have bought 3-4 of these. One for my 360, one for my roommates, and one just to say I have an extra. This is no joke - it's worth the 25 dollars it is at right now (I paid like 11 for it)
 Great design but with a fatal flaw - read before buying! December 2, 2008
OK let me cut to the chase here - before you buy this otherwise capable unit, CHECK YOUR LAPTOP FAN DIRECTION. The fans on the Antec notebook cooler only blow in one direction and they are not reversible. My laptop sucks air from the bottom and blows out the side port - unfortunately, the Antec notebook cooler sucks air from the top and blows down - the opposite direction of air flow from my Compaq laptop. This could be EASILY remedied by putting a switch or making the USB DC connector reversible. I can't believe no one thought of this before.
Otherwise, I like the design and apparent quality of the unit. It's plenty big for my 15.4" widescreen laptop. I'm going to try to solve the airflow problem by flipping the fans over if I can get into the unit without damaging it. Otherwise I am going to send it back as it will actually CREATE heating problems by reducing airflow.
A couple more cons December 2, 2008
The USB cable does not remain flush in the port. I have a Macbook and I find myself having to keep something on the cable to keep the cable positioned in such a way that the unit remains on. The second con is the the little rubber nubs that keep your laptop at a distance so that it can be cooled come out very easily and can be lost. I now have to contact the manufacturer about extra parts. This would be a fine product if manufacturer could improve on the minor flaws it has.
Great Choice December 2, 2008
First Time I have a laptop pc, and this product fits very well, works in silence and have two speeds, it's not heavy and fits in the bag for my computer, also works for long period of time, you just plug into usb port and start working, I recomend this product even for the price.
 Dissapointed December 2, 2008
Bought it on the B/F deal. Received it today Monday. Surprisingly fast delivery from Amazon/USPS. Unboxing/10 minutes of use review:
Pros: Fits my 17" HP okay. The bottom of my laptop is not flat, so the cooler is not lined up "square". Seems to be working fine so far.
CONS: It's A LOT louder than I had imagined. The speed switch is also a volume control - loud and "11". I may get the db meter out and update this post later.
