Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad Review

I often use my laptop computer on ... well, my lap. The heat coming from the bottom of the laptop would make my thighs very hot and red. My sister told me about cooling pads that were available just for that reason. My husband purchased the Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad from Office Max for me for Christmas. It was on sale from $29.99 to $19.99. This was a purchase well worth the price he paid.

My Experience

This cooling pad has a wave design, is very light and has a single fan. There are gray rubber grips on both ends of this pad to prevent the laptop from slipping around as I type. They are effective and I get no movement. I was a little bit unsure as to how well this cooling pad would reduce the heat because it only had a single fan. I use this pad daily and can tell you that the single fan does a fantastic job. If I am going to be typing at a table, the cooling pad has a built in stand that simply folds out to allow the air to circulate properly. My laptop stays very cool. There are no bulky adapters, just a small USB cord that plugs into my laptop. The only problem that I have had so far is when I am attempting to remove the laptop and the cooling pad from my lap, the cooling pad is smaller and a bit difficult to grab.  Being small though, allows the cooling pad to fit comfortably in my laptop carrying case.

The Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad is an effective little gadget that has made using my laptop much more comfortable and easier to use. I recommend this product and am giving it a 4 star rating. I would have went with 5 but the difficulty I had taking the laptop and the cooling pad off my lap together is enough for me to remove a star.
