Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler Buy Now


Keep in mind this is the first device like this I've owned, so some things that are probably relative between devices might be overlooked (such as noise level).

Pro's:
- Does seem to effectively cool
- On high, seems quiet enough. I can tell it is running, but it is not annoying and I'm usually listening to music, so a non-issue for me
- Doesn't look bad (if you're one to care about that)

Con's:
- It is rather tall and since it's not tilted, if you're typing on your laptops keyboard at a desk, it could be potentially uncomfortable for some.
- The USB -> Power cord that comes with it is a bit of a pain on a MacBook (2008 Aluminum case). It comes out of the USB port and has a cord sticking out at a 90 degree turn towards the back of the MacBook. In the rear-most USB port this means your network cable port is blocked. In the front-most USB port this means your rear-most USB port is blocked.


Overall though, it really seems to be accomplishing the main task I got it for, cooling my system. My biggest complaint is the USB cord, but it's something I can live with, although it's the main reason I gave this item 4 stars instead of 5.Get more detail about Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler.
