Cool Lift Laptop Computer Cooling Stand Review

I ordered this item from Overstock.com for only $9.99.  I often use my laptop on the sofa and on the bed.  I place the computer directly on the sofa cushion, on my comforter or blanket, but never on my lap.  I was finding that the fan was turning on quite often and my laptop was getting slow.

Although I was not actively looking for a cooling stand, I came across this item while I was browsing for something else on Overstock.com.  For $9.99, I could not resist testing this item out.

The stand is made of foam and is a simple design.  It works simply by resting your laptop on the raised corners.  It definitely needs to be used on a flat secure surface because your computer does not lock into it.  So you must be careful if you have children bouncing on the sofa or on your bed.  I have never had my laptop tip over, but it has wobbled a bit in those instances.  I also like that it is angled so the back is higher.  It is much more comfortable for me to type in this position.

In short, this item does what it says.  It lifts your laptop off the surface enough to allow air flow underneath it.  I would highly recommend this item for anyone who lives on a budget.
