Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler


I've had this laptop notebook cooler for about a month now and so far so good. It definitely cools my laptop down a few notches and it's a notable difference too. Prior to purchasing this, my laptop usually ran hot because it was always on and I often worried about overheating. Not so anymore.

However, there are some notable issues worth mentioning.

I think this product mainly fits non-widescreen laptops. I have a widescreen and it doesn't fully fit atop the four rubber pegs like it should. It is still usable of course but doesn't cover all pegs the way it was intended.

The construction of the USB chord isn't as sturdy as it should be. And care should be paid to it or else it'll snap or rip off. It's that fragile. You would think they would have made it thicker or stronger or reinforced it in some way but they didn't. I'm sure this issue has been raised on numerous reviews too.

Oh, and the blue LED light, what's with that? Did they have to make it super bright? At least they should have given us a feature to manually turn it off but they didn't. But not a biggie because I read a few reviewers say they placed duct tape over it. Sorry, but that's just cheesy. I'll settle for the LED light over duct tape.

I think that's about it for my griping. Overall this product does what it says it does. It does cool the laptop down a few degrees and you can tell by touching the surface of your laptop. If you can live with the flaws then I'd buy this product over the other comparable ones. It's light. It's portable. And easily fits into my laptop bag.Get more detail about Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler.
