Probably will not hold up.......2007-06-13

I have had this for about 5 days now and it has worked pretty good for the first few days. Now i will look under my notebook every so often and the fans are shut off. I have to fiddle with the power cord for it to turn back on. A simple rotation of the cord around the power hole seems to get the fans going but i can't imagine this will hold up much longer.

The one thing I like about this is that the cord is long. This is sometimes a distraction but when i am near a deskop I can plug it into that computer instead of my notebook even if it is on the floor below.

I've owned one of these chill pads for over a year and use it with my notebook a few hours almost every day. It is very quiet, has worked reliably without fail, and keeps the notebook cool even when I'm doing heavy-duty number crunching for hours. It also keeps *me* nice and cool when I have the notebook on my lap. I'm buying another so I don't have to swap between different notebooks I use.

This device is not made for a road warrior. It is relatively cleap and would probably fall apart with some rough usage. But since I don't move it around much, it has continued to work well.

Doesn't handle heavy use.......2007-06-10

It worked perfectly for the first month I had it. Then it just stopped working completely. My laptop stays on for about 8 hours a day and so the heat can be pretty intense. It could be that I just need a mat that can stand up to that kind of use and I just wore this one out. If you use your laptop a lot, I would suggest getting a higher quality mat that can stand up to a lot of use, but if you just need a mat for occasional use, then this might be a good item for you.

Excellent Product.......2007-06-09

Since purchasing this cool mat, I hear my laptop's internal cooling fan running way fewer times thus maintaining the life of my laptop. Every laptop owner should have a cool mat with fans. This product in particular is reliable, trouble-free, and well designed. This design secures and cradles my laptop while allowing it tremendous ventilation. I should have bought this years ago!

Good item to help keep your lap top from getting too hot. A necessity for lap top computers
