I bought this product because my laptops fan constantly kept coming on while i worked on long projects. i know that every time your laptop fan comes on the cpu is losing life because its starting to overheat. well i decided to pick up a fan. this one works great. i never hear my laptop fan come on. it makes the same amount of noise as the laptop fan does but i can feel the cold air coming from underneath it. it stands your laptop up as well and now my wrist are feeling much better. by standing up it allows the fan to pull in air around the laptop which is need instead of just spinning air in place from the small fans. this is a great product and was worth every dollar.

My favorite part about this unit is that because it is slanted it is much easier to type. Perhaps it is the way my desk is set up but it makes a big difference. Also, I have a Sony Vaio and the cpu is at the top right corner (right where one of the fans is). Before I got this unit, it would blow lots of hot air out the cpu vent after I had left the laptop on overnight. Now, nothing. You can feel a little heat if you touch it, but it's been greatly reduced. I've been very impressed.

The unit does a great job elevating for circulation and the three fans generate a good wind beneath, that alone makes the unit great but add in the fact that it has a female usb connection(so you dont lose the usb port the unit uses) and that the neon blue light looks awesome, and youve got a really good product....even if the spelling on the boxes they come in might be a little off :)

I ordered from this company before I read the reviews, I wouldn't have ordered had I done my research first, but I've been pleasantly surprised. My order arrived on time and with no problems whatsoever. The product I ordered was even better than what I expected.

Dinodirect.com had the best total price I could find online. They had the item I wanted in stock, accepted my coupon, and offered free shipping. I received my order in only two days. I have recommended Dinodirect.com to others and all of them love it so well. Pretty nice.

I am very impressed with the Dinodirect products and their service. I received my order very promptly, with quick and easy communication with the staff through email. The cooling system I purchased has stopped my computer from crashing and rebooting due to heat related issues. I am considering buying a cpu cooling fan, and I will definitely order from these guys. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money elsewhere on sub par products and high prices, check out Dinodirect first.

This is a very well made cooling fan for your laptop. However, if you have a 15.4" screen your laptop will hang off of it about an inch on both sides, 17" is about an inch and a half on both sides. Is that a problem? No, not really. You want air circulation underneath to cool. The 3 fans are great. Most cooling boards have only 2. An earlier reviewer said he didnt like it because the back was "open". Well that reduces the weight and increases air circulation. It is well designed in my opinion. The on/off switch is nice. It will only work of course if the laptop is running. You will never forget to turn it off. It runs amazingly quiet. You cant hear it but you can feel it. It is really meant to keep the battery cool and help the heatsink fan. A cooler working battery will last longer. It has a good angle to work. I really havent found anything wrong with it. I highly recommend this item, however, if I was to make a suggestion to improve it, it would be to add a couple of usb ports to

I have a Dell Inspiron 5100 that heats up very quickly on any surface. After being disappointed with other cheaper coolers, I decided to try this one. On a flat surface, such as a desk, I give it a 5/5. It dissipates heat very well and keeps the outside and internal chips near room temperature with extended use.

Quick and easy!My cartridges were not only an excellent value, but delivered within a couple of days of the order. They work fine and let me keep an older inkjet printer functioning at a reasonable cost. Everything with my order was great. The items arrived as advertised, and in a timely manner. I will make sure to buy from Dinodirect.com again.

Having a 17" laptop (Dell Inspiron 9400/E1705), most cooling pads on the market don't quite fit. Many of them are designed for 15" or so sized laptops, so a 17" widescreen laptop will of course have couple inches hanging outside of the pad surface. So does this pad. <br/> <br/>But this one is just perfect. No doubt about it. <br/> <br/>Why? It almost seems like it was built for the 9400. Because the 9400 has two vents, one on the top left corner and another on the top right corner(one for CPU and the other for GPU since I have GeForce Go 7900 GS which has an extra fan). The vents have openings both on top (the keyboard side) and on the buttom which draw air and blow out the back side (next to the power coard, VGA video out, ethernet slot, etc). <br/> <br/>As I've mentioned, this pad is for 15" laptops, so if I align the pad with the center of the laptop, there will be approximately 1" margin on each sides hanging outside the pad. But this way the buttom side of the two vent openings are actually elevated in mid-air, which is a perfect spot for air to move freely upwards. <br/> <br/>You might wonder, then the 3 fans on the pad don't really help anymore? Actually they help tramendously. Because the SODIMM RAM slots of the Inspiron are located in the dead center of the buttom of the laptop, where hot air gather and not much cool air is circulating. So the location of the 3 fans on the pad basically blows away any and all accumulated hot air. <br/> <br/>With the help of the cooling pad, the temperatures on the CPU, GPU, and memory chips can drop almost 40, 35, 20 degrees Fahrenheit respectively when running a demanding task (such as playing BattleField 2 at highest resolution).
