 Not really non-slip June 27, 2008
Got it today. So far so good. Except for one thing: I'm on my recliner with legs elevated 10 to 20 degrees. I'm using an IBM T43 with the pad, and the laptop keeps slipping towards me.
The "feet" on the laptop are rubber, but the rubber on the "X" is slippery, and that's right out of the box. It's like someone put butter on the X-Pad. I'll try to wash it and see.
It's so NOT non-slip, that I can push the laptop back, and it just slides on top of the X-Pad. Normally you'd expect that rubbing one rubber against another will create friction.

I'm very pleased with the Xpad. I ordered this because my Lenovo X61t gets extremely hot, especially when playing games or using graphics-intensive programs. I primarily use my notebook away from a desk or table, so it's either on my lap or being held.
This is hands down the best *lap* notebook cooler I've seen so far. Even after several hours of use, I had no heat from the computer on the underside of the xpad. The underside of the xpad is covered with a slightly rough fabric that works comfortably on clothes or bare skin.
Pros:
* no moving parts, so nothing to mysteriously break in a few weeks
* works on lap or table
* very light
* fits in many laptop bags
* design accommodates a wide variety of laptop sizes, intake, and fan configurations
* stiff design won't block air intakes on bottom of laptop
Cons:
* plastic case is slightly deeper than the foam pad; could dig into bare skin, depending on position of of pad.
 Xpad vs. Chopping board June 14, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had the Xpad for a few months now, and I have to admit that I don't use my macbook without it, and I don't get my legs fried anymore (they still get warm though). It's light to carry around, non slippery at all, and I like that I don't have to plug it to a USB port.
However, my first impression was that it looks and feels cheap and crappy. It looked way better online. Don't expect miracles in benchmarks for your CPU's temperature. To compare, I put the Xpad away and started using a plastic chopping board instead for like 20 minutes and I got similar results temperature wise. I would have given the board 1 star cause it would look weird in public; because I think the Xpad does block the heat a little bit better, and because the laptop keeps sliding around. On the board's defense, it wasn't designed for this ;)
 Works like a charm. June 6, 2008

Amazing! I didn't think it would work without fans, but it does. NON-SLIP...really.
A Good Solution for Keeping Your Lap Cool May 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't think it's as simple as it should be to buy a product to keep my MacBook from burning my lap when I use it on the couch. There are a lot of products with fans and USB hubs and lights and all manner of doohickeys--all of which seem too complicated. Other products are rather simple, but are little better than using a book or a small piece of wood, in that the laptop's heat eventually makes them hot, too. I found that the xPad, with its simple X design on top, keeps most of the laptop out of contact with the bottom of the pad, and hence, keeps my lap pretty cool. The laptop does not slip off the top of it (a big plus). On the downside, the edges of the base are, as many reviewers said, not rounded, so they can dig into you. I did not find that it was uncomfortable, however.
