Customer Review: It functions, but not well
I thought this product looked cool and the concept is sound enough, however, when it comes to practical use it's no good. For starters, the actual cooling process when the gel becomes a liquid really does occur, it physically gets cooler after heating up. However, if you have a laptop that creates a lot of heat and is larger, the pad becomes a gel very quickly and stops absorbing heat. (here are my specs: Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit or 64-bit) Intel® Core 2 Duo Processor (PM965 chipset = socket P @ 667mhz or 800mhz) and (PM45 chipset = Socket P with 800mhz or 1066mhz) 3072 or 4096MB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM or 4096MB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM 250GB/320GB 5400rpm Serial ATA hard drive w/ 8MB cache2 17.0" Ultrabright TFT Active Matrix (1440 x 900 - 1920 x 1200 max. resolution) FX Design with Copper Core Accent Intel® PM965 Chipset and NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8800GTS with 512MB of GDDR3 discrete video memory or PM45 Chipset with NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTS with 1024MB of GDDR3 8x Multi-Format Dual Layer DVDRW with DVD-RAM featuring Labelflash(tm)Technology3 Integrated 1.3 Megapixel Web Cam). The creators claim that even after the solid has turned to gel the pad continues to cool, this claim is false. The pad simply heats up and makes the laptop even hotter. If you use your laptop for long periods of time or if it generates a lot of heat, this product is only effective for part of the time and is not for you.
Customer Review: I love it
It is so nice having a laptop cooler that doesn't make noise, and that works without being plugged in! I'll never go back to the old kind.
