4 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars "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!!


4 out of 5 stars Cools well, USB is not straight   August 4, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.



3 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars Finally a Laptop Cooler that doesnt destroy your laptop   July 25, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

When I first looked at this item on Amazon I must admit I was very skeptical. I have purchased many notebook coolers in my time, one of them actually costing me a notebook. It destroyed the fan inside the notebook, and then the notebook overheated and died, being I went to an outside electrical device that was not made by the company I somehow violated the not so affordable warranty I purchased which I must say caused me to be a bit angered. After I looked over multiple cooling systems I came across the Xpad. No fans? How does it cool your system down? Not wanting to take a chance on destroying another notebook with another p.o.s, I decided to get this Xpad, it was affordable, and best of all it doesn't violate any Warranty set by your notebook provider being it doesn't plug into it, or change its engineering in any shape or form. :) I received the Xpad later on that week, and decided to check it out, first and foremost, the reason my notebook runs at insane temperatures is because I am an Online Gamer. I play MMORPG's, to be specific World of Warcraft. My notebook would constantly over heat, resulting in what's known as the Blue Screen of Death. Since I have gotten the Xpad, I have not once seen this screen. However do not expect this Xpad to cool down your laptop 100%. It does however reduce the heat incredibly, and makes your notebook run allot smoother, and somehow faster! When placed on your lap, you don't even feel the heat. Or if I am wearing shorts, and parts of my leg is exposed, no heat! You will still feel a little heat from the laptop itself, so if you're looking for something that will 100% cool your notebook, this isn't for you. If you're looking for a product that will significantly reduce the heating to your laptop, and stop you from getting leg burn, than you have found your answer! I know I did!
