Question: What is on the underside - the surface that would be in contact with your legs when it's on your lap? It looks like hard plastic - is that true?
Document: This Belkin model has two fans that have just one low setting, and no on and off switch. And, it is not padded on the bottom, but just a hard angled plastic that is cheap looking and not very comfortable. This won't be much of a factor if you generally use your laptop on a desk rather than your lap. But sitting on your legs or knees it is hard, and not at all comfy being without any cushioning.
I'm not as enthusiastic about this product as some of the other reviewers. It's ok, but quite average.On the positive side, the fan is very quiet so it doesn't interfere with concentation, playing music, etc. I think it does its job of keeping the laptop cool. On the negative side, this pad isn't "cushy," as the description states. It's a hard piece of plastic. That's fine for setting your laptop on a surface, but less fine for setting it on your lap.
I got this for my MacBook Air. Was concerned it would be a little big but it is great. It provides a stable surface and keeps the heat off my legs. The fan is very quiet, but it is also someone effective even with the fan off, since there are vents at the front an on the the bottom.
I like this new Belkin cooling pad. My computer is an older Dell and it has a problem with excessive heating. I had been using a Microsoft cooling pad, but it has only one fan in the center, and the surface of the pad is solid plastic. It also is noisy when it gets some lint in it. And it doesn't really keep my computer cool.This Belkin has 2 fans, and the whole surface is perforated. It has intake vents in the back, and it's very quiet.
I was reluctant to buy a cooling pad for my laptop - worried it would be annoying, hard to take around with me, etc - but this product has definitely exceeded my expectations. It fits my 15" laptop perfectly and it keeps both the computer and my lap cool and comfortable. Plus, it's lightweight and fits in my laptop bag easily. Takes up some space, sure, but definitely worth it for the added comfort.
Having this between your laptop and your lap makes for much greater comfort, and having it between your laptop and any surface makes for a lower risk of overheating.It is remarkably quiet, which it needs to be if it is not to be a nuisance. Also very light. The quality seems good, as one would expect of Belkin.
Nevertheless, the cooling effect is quite noticeable. The top of the platter is slightly tilted and curved, but I found the angle worked well even for my laptop with its large protruding battery pack.The main part of the device is brittle plastic, so it probably wouldn't hold up well to abuse from young children (who might, for instance, try standing on it). Thus, like other computer equipment, it would be best to store this item out of reach of young feet.
i found i really didnt need it. its kind of hard on my lap and i find it easier to use a small pillow that doesnt block fan vents on the bottom of the computer
The CoolSpot Anywhere (Belkin) is barely acceptable. The first one I got had to be sent back due to the fan not working. Another one was send and seems fine. The pad is made of cheap plastic, is not really comfortable resting on your legs, and the laptop slips down unless you have it at a complete horizontal position...even goes past the rubber stop at the bottom...and you can find yourself constantly pushing the laptop up.
A stickier surface on the cooler would have improved this.Remember, heat is a killer for all electronics. If your laptop is running hot, you should probably have one of these.
Answer: Yes, it's regular plastic with vents. Nothing extraordinary, feels ok. The real problem is with the power cord that broke on mine after a year of light use so be aware.
