OK let me cut to the chase here - before you buy this otherwise capable unit, CHECK YOUR LAPTOP FAN DIRECTION. The fans on the Antec notebook cooler only blow in one direction and they are not reversible. My laptop sucks air from the bottom and blows out the side port - unfortunately, the Antec notebook cooler sucks air from the top and blows down - the opposite direction of air flow from my Compaq laptop. This could be EASILY remedied by putting a switch or making the USB DC connector reversible. I can't believe no one thought of this before.
Otherwise, I like the design and apparent quality of the unit. It's plenty big for my 15.4" widescreen laptop. I'm going to try to solve the airflow problem by flipping the fans over if I can get into the unit without damaging it. Otherwise I am going to send it back as it will actually CREATE heating problems by reducing airflow.
