User Reviews about Logitech Notebook Cooling Pad (N100)
I received a Gateway notebook from a sibling when my old Dell notebook had run its course, and my sibling purchased a Mac notebook. She mentioned the computer shutting down due to overheating, and I did notice the problem myself but it wasn't too bad. I had at that point mostly used the notebook for word processing and internet browsing.
After I had purchased a computer game, I noticed the real problem with it. Gateways are notoriously bad with overheating, and the laptop would just shut itself down after a half hour of play. I also purchased Windows XP Pro and had a hassle installing it, as the laptop would shut down during the install from overheating as well.
I was about to give up and dip into my emergency savings to purchase another notebook, although I didn't really want to as I don't really need one at home much anymore. I then thought of trying a cooling pad.
I initially purchased one from the alleged #1 cooling pad manufacturer, Targus. The cooling pad was an absolute piece of garbage and did not work at all, it had enough trouble actually staying plugged in and getting power because of faulty design.
I then took another look, and decided to go with Logitech, which has been a very good PC accessory manufacturer for me in the past.
And they delivered again. My notebook which was shutting down within a half hour at most, and running very hot within 5 minutes of playing any PC game or intensive video, suddenly was very quiet and could play for hours and hours without so much as loud fan noise. This cooling pad is that good.
I was initially worried about the slope, and the laptop falling down due to gravity, hence why I chose the flat Targus at first over Logitech. But I couldn't have been more wrong, the notebook virtually sticks to the pad, it will have very slight movements at most if you manually move it, but otherwise it will sit there. In fact, if anything, when I close my lie I have to be careful when opening it, as the entire unit gets pulled up, that's how good the grip is.
The design is beautiful and ingenius. It looks great and is obviously effective.
I have only had this for a few days so I don't know the durability. But Logitech backs it with a 3 year warranty, and that's more than worth the price. That is a very good warranty for any product, and especially a cooling pad, I doubt there is a better one on the market. The product does seem very sturdy, it appears to be made of plastic but it is the thick type that you would find for a computer casing for example, or some other sturdy type of plastic.
In terms of battery use, it is indeed very low and I have not noticed any difference in battery power and time.
I highly recommend this product, especially if your computer is overheating to the point of shutdowns (ie you have the misfortune of owning a Gateway, the worst brand of computer available). -- Saved a Gateway
I consider this cooling pad a good purchase for the money. I have two laptops, one is a 15.6" and the other one a 17". This pad performs well, but only provides sufficient cooling for the 15.6". I had to buy another pad with two fans for the other one. Pros: lightweight, manageable, extremely quiet, good looks. Cons: limited cooling capacity from its small, single fan.
-- Good buy, does its job, delivers value for money
I had this on my wish list and received it for x-mas...it is super quiet..I can't even tell it is running. It is very comfortable to have on my lap while sitting in bed while surfing the web. To use, simply plug the USB plug into the back of your laptop and place your laptop on top of it. It doesn't get any easier than that! I do wish though it came in black, since most laptops ARE black. It is very durable and slim in design...it fit perfectly in my carry on bag when I went to AZ recently. It keeps the computer very cool...I would sometimes leave my laptop running and sitting on the bed and it would get really hot because the blanket would suffocate the built in fan. With this product there is no chance of it over heating because of the curved design for the vents. I love this product and would totally recommend buying it! It's even priced right! -- Great fan for the laptop!
I bought it a month back, its light weight, quite operation and works well !! -- Really a good buy !
This product is great. I have a Dell inspiron 1525 and it fits perfectly and works well. I would recommend it to anyone. Good value for money. -- Logitech Notebook Cooling Pad
