 Don't Buy!! September 3, 2008
I got an xpad for my macbook pro. As far as keeping heat from my lap it works, which is why it gets one star. The problem is that a blanket or book can also do this. I got this product because I thought it would help keep my laptop cooler. It doesn't. It works no better than a book. So save yourself the $25 and use a small empty binder instead, it works just as well, and is about the same size. And that reminds me, the xpad is almost thicker than my notebook so unless you are using a briefcase computer from the 1980's, it is absurd to use.
Does its job, but some things to consider first August 17, 2008

This product does its job - keeping my laptop from A) overheating so easily and B) cooking my lap when it is hot. However, it's not quite large enough to be intended for use with 17" screen laptops like mine. I use it anyway, but my laptop hangs over the edges and needs readjusting sometimes. Also, the top and sides are made of plastic, while the bottom is dense foam-like material; the problem lies in the boundary between the materials. The foam compresses, leaving you with a thin plastic edge digging into your leg. This is only and issue when sitting certain ways - with it and my laptop squarely on my lap being supported by both of my legs, it's fine. Overall, I'm still happy with my purchase.
 "Cooler than Cool" August 14, 2008
Just got my Xpad today...love it! My legs are no longer "french fries". You save $$$ & time, no battery drain or use of electricity. It is very comfortable in my lap and laptop doesn't slide around as the alternative use of my pillow. During the summer heat it's a dream come true. Staying COOL in Bothell, WA!!
Cools well, USB is not straight August 4, 2008

First of all, I'm very happy with how well this cools the notebook and how quiet it runs.
My only complaint is that the USB is not straight. I appreciate their intention to provide a USB hub to replace the one you're using, but I don't like that the USB now has a sideways pointing wire coming from it. On my Dell XPS, I can only use the USB port on the right side of my notebook, which means that I have to use this pad backwards. Instead of the air flowing out the back of the device, the warm air flows towards me. This may be nice in the winter, but it was 95 degrees here today.
I wish they would provide 2 cords with the device- the one currently provided and a straight one without a USB hub.
 Still Running Hot July 29, 2008
I have had this cooler for almost two years and all I can say is that it seems to work "ok". My lap still gets plenty hot even with the use of this product. To prevent slippage, I ended up using velcro squares and its now velcroed to the bottom of my laptop. That works great, but I had to buy those velcro squares. All in all, I'd not really recommend this product, nor have I in the past two years of owning it.
