I really like the
ThermaPAK HeatShift Pad. Here’s why. Generally, when we think in lines of laptop cooling devices, we would immediately think of fans. But there are ways that do not require power to cool your laptop. The ThermaPAK HeatShift Pad is one such alternative. It uses
self-cooling crystals instead of the usual USB powered fans to cool your laptop.
The portable Cool life is barely 5 ounces on weight and it is basically designed such that airflow can be promoted in notebooks. It supports all kinds of notebooks. It has an angular design which promotes a good and fine posture and also ensures prevention of carpal tunnels. However the Cool lift is essentially designed for use on a desktop, or a table and not for usage on a lap.
The light weight and durability of the cool-lift ensures portability and suitable for purpose of travel. The size is barely 10 inches by 1.125 inches by 8 inches which confirms the above.
I love being able to use my laptop on my lap when I want a break from my desk, but I don’t like taking the risk of my laptop overheating. The Logitech Notebook Cooling Pad N100 gives me the best of both worlds. I can run my web programming business from the comfort of my couch without sacrificing my laptop’s functionality (or the skin on my legs). The rear air intake brings air into the cooler, which is then distributed through the slotted surface underneath my laptop. The whole process is even and virtually silent. The fan is enclosed, keeping dust, pet hair and other nasty stuff out of the way. It’s designed for efficiency, resulting in low energy consumption. It even looks great, with a sleek design inspired by nature. This is a great little cooler that keeps air flowing nicely without zapping too much power.
Kinamax Fan NTP3 Business Notebook Cooler pad weighs 1.2 pounds, light weight and portable and with about half an inch thickness which makes it easily conducive to travel use. The cooling system consists of 3 in built 60 mm fans which are quiet and work quickly and efficiently for heat dissipation.
Moreover, the front fan has a system for on and off which makes it easily accessible. Also the fans are USB powered and additional adapters are not needed. The fan speed is about 3000 RPM when it is put on and it creates a 30 CFM of airflow.
The Belkin F5L028 laptop cooling lounge is a perfect pick for if you want to protect your laptop from incessant heat and without having to only work on a desk or a table. It weighs 4 pounds and is a USB powered device which does not require and bulky adapters or batteries.
It has a fan which is strategically placed to move all the hot air away from the computer and you also. The cooling lounge does not restrict the user to be bound to a desk and can work on a comfortable sofa or in an easy chair.
The
Antec USB- Powered Notebook Cooler weighs 2.8 pounds and is a very worthwhile proposition protecting your valuable investment and reduces the heat of your laptop.
It has a USB fan powered cooler with the inclusion of a pass through connector. Interestingly the Antec notebook cooler uses the USB port for drawing power however without losing complete use of the USB port. The device is low on the power consumption factor. Moreover, a power adapter or batteries are not required for the running of the pad.
Hey everyone! My name is Chris Glasner and I live in San Francisco. I started this website to share my experiences with laptop coolers. I've owned quite a few since I bought my first laptop many years ago so I hope it'll help you find the best laptop cooler for your needs. Feel free to leave a comment and say hi!
