I originally bought this to cool my laptop but unfortunately had one of my external USB Hard Drives overheat and fry the drive. So I use it now to cool both of my external drives which can get superhot since most only have the surface area of the metal case to passively dispurse the heat. While having your main boot drive die is one of the worst feelings there is, having your external drive that you've used to store many years' worth of very large, difficult to replace files, (ie. DVD backups) isn't much better. I can fit 2 on this cooler lying flat side-by-side and they barely get warm. I ended up buying a 2nd one for the laptop itself. My only complaint is the wire that connects to USB passthru. It's a weak link because the poor design makes it susceptible to breaking from simple wear & tear if you're not extra gentle with it. If that breaks, you're left with a laptop stand that only LOOKS cool.

        I wish this product were just a regular rectangular shape so that the laptop sits better on it. The "legs" of the laptop fall off to one end or other, due to the ameoba-like shape of this product.

          The Antec Notebook Cooler works extremely well. It is very quiet and does a great job at keeping the laptop cool. The ability to keep the USB port on my laptop is a great feature, since my laptop only has one USB port.
          The would definitely recommend this product if you are looking for a notebook cooler.

            • Q:

              I purchased this fan about five years ago. The fan now makes too much noise and I was going to replace it. One of the features I loved was that it was plugged into my USB port however I could then piggy back another thing to the plug into the USB. Therefore I never lost my USB port. Can anyone tell me if that is still accurate with this product.

              • A:

                If the Antec Laptop Cooler is making too much noise, then it's doubtful it can be used as a piggy back for USB at this point and should be returned.

              How is the distributed? Does the heat go through the bottom or is it pushed out the back. If it pushes the through the bottom, does anyone know of a good quality product that pushes the air through the back.

                My laptop is one of the largest you can find (17" screen) and it fits fine. Now, my friend has a small macbk pro and it is a little tricky getting it to sit on the rubber nubs that create the space in between the cooler surface top and the bottom of the lap top but it does fit.

                The laptop just sits on top... only physical connection is the USB power cable. The surface is aluminum (plastic sides and bottom) and there are 4 hard-rubber pegs that you must install in each corner (a bit of a tight fit but then again they won't fall out on you either) and the laptop sits on those to allow increased airflow.

                A:

                yes, it is light wieght and the fans built in the bottom directs the air away from your lap so you can sit it on your lap and work. It is rather large though so depending on the size of your lap it may make for akward work space.

                Two fans and a hi/lo switch. Yes, the rubberized feet depth should be somewhat closer for some laptops, so carefully place yours on the cooler. Once in position, it should remain stable.
