Antec NoteBook Cooler #761345-75004-2 Review

A few weeks ago, I broke my Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad by using it directly on my lap. It caused the fan to stop rotating which made the motor burn out. Clearly my fault. Although I liked the Belkin, a friend of mine suggested that I get the Antec NoteBook Cooler #761345-75004-2. It was being advertised on Amazon.com for the affordable price of $29.79. I liked the look and design so much that I ordered it. It's a great little gadget!

This USB-powered cooler has a pass-through connector that allows the user to draw power from any USB port without losing use of the USB port. No batteries or power adapter is needed. There are two double ball-bearing fans that are very quiet and the consumption of power is quite low. The aluminum surface helps conduct heat away from the laptop. There is a dual control switch that is set to low but can be changed to high if needed. It is compatible with Macs and PCs. This cooler measures 13" x 11.2" x 0.85" and weighs 1.6 Ibs. This product come with a 3-year warranty.

When I took this notebook cooler out of the package, I could immediately tell by the looks and the weight that this was a quality item. It was sharp looking with its aluminum surface and black trim. The weight made it feel sturdy and durable. The little rubber grips on the surface allow my laptop to sit securely and the flat rubber feet help secure it further on any table or lap desk. Although I can choose a low or high fan setting, I have not found it necessary to use the high setting. I use my laptop hours at a time and the low setting has kept my laptop cool continuously. I can barely hear the fan, which I love because it doesn't interrupt my listening to Pandora Radio while I am surfing the web. It's also a huge plus that the USB port can be used without actually losing use of that port.

The Antec NoteBook Cooler #761345-75004-2 is an affordable, durable and very effective product. I really like it a lot and highly recommend it. I am giving this notebook cooler a well deserved 5 star rating.
