A bargain solution for overheating laptops 29/03/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Was a great price, cools down my laptop fantastically
Disadvantages The noise is really annoying

A bargain solution for overheating laptops If there is one thing that seems to be common with all laptops/netbooks is that they can become uncomfortably warm right up to being down right hot. Especially for a man this can be a bit disconcerting when said laptop is placed on your lap. My laptop tends to run hot so I have taken to using it more and more on my desk as opposed to just lounging around with it on my lap. It might be more comfortable for both my legs and more intimate places but it doesn’t get around the fact that after a few hours the laptop gets overly warm which slows the whole ... more

Oh, You're So Cool.....Laptop Cooling Lounge 05/08/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages I no longer have hot legs!
Disadvantages Noise level

Up until now I have been using my new laptop (an Acer Aspire 5520) for general, everyday applications such as internet use, coursework and low spec games. Lo and behold, The Sims 3 is released - sadly, I am a fan of such games but that's another story for another day! This game is a resource hog, and playing it on my laptop resulted in alarming processor temperatures being reached, to the point of automatic shutdown. Now, I'm no computer whizz but even I realised this couldn't be healthy for my machine, and it most certainly wasn't healthy for my sanity when all my saved data was lost. A ... more

Avoiding those burnt knees 05/01/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Cools laptop, prolongs life of laptop, comfortable to use, easy to store, lightweight
Disadvantages Quite noisy!

My dad bought me one of these cooling stands when I was telling him about my laptop being on its last legs and getting very hot each time I use it. The battery is dying and I haven't been able to source one yet, so it has to be plugged in each time I use it. I'm not sure if this is the reason behind it, but I've noticed it overheats to the point that it burns my knees which is uncomfortable and potentially dangerous. I'm not sure how much he paid for it, but they retail for around £10.99 on Amazon at the time of writing. The Belkin cooling stand is designed to protect your laptop and make it ... more

Cooling pad. Cool laptop. Cool lap. Cool head. 28/06/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages Ergonomically designed. Cools laptop effectively. Runs off laptop power. Adjustable height.
Disadvantages Slipping shelf a bit high. Not very portable.

Over the last week or so, probably because of the very hot weather we've been having, I've found it more and more noticeable that my laptop is getting very hot when I'm sat with it on my lap. I tend to balance my laptop on a cushion and so obviously there is no air circulating underneath and so it gets hotter and hotter. From previous experience I have had laptops crash and break because they've become overheated and I wanted to take action to prevent that from happening again - and so I decided last week I would buy some sort of laptop pad cooler. PC World had several laptop coolers on ... more

Save yourself from burnout! 08/02/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages CHEAP, practical, lightweight, works really well
Disadvantages A bit noisy, one size early which is small for my laptop

I’ve recently noticed my laptop becoming louder and louder and hotter and hotter, especially while I’m trying to watch a film. Playing games was becoming almost impossible, as it would overheat to such an extent that the computer would completely crash at times. I was frustrated because I have a good laptop that should be capable of doing the tasks I ask of it, and cleaning out the fan with a can of air was no use either. Through a little Googling, I came across laptop cooling pads with their own fan, and I chose this Belkin one because of its great reviews. Not only that, but it cost only £8 ... more

Cool? I think not 01/01/2011

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Keeps laptop cool ish
Disadvantages Expensive, uses laptop power

One of the major problems I have with the laptop I am currently using is the fact that it heats up very quickly, especially when charging in use. The heat is often too much for my poor legs which I rest on and also makes me hot and sweaty which isn't ideal! Therefore I stumbled on this product actually courtesy of dooyoo and having previously had good experiences with the Belkin range of products I opted to buy it as I felt the £20 I paid was a fair price for something which would ease my extensive laptop use as well as help keep my laptop alive longer! The device comes as a stylish and simple ... more

A Cool Way to Use Your Laptop 19/08/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages Very effective, comfortable to use, good price
Disadvantages Quite bulky, laptop has to be perfectly positioned

Due to having strained my back through too many hours of hunching over my computer, I now try to work with my laptop on my lap. This assists my back immeasurably, but I do have to be careful about what kind of surface I rest my laptop on. In the past I have most often resorted to a cushion, but this is perhaps one of the worse choices, as the heat generated by my computer is increased by the thick, soft fabric. I have also tried a specially-designed laptop table, which was moderately useful but not ideal. When I saw the Cooling Lounge advertised I was taken by the innovative nature of it, and ... more
