This is the only way i see using my laptop while travelling or working anywhere you need to use your laptop on your lap. This uses a USB wire which connects from the coolsurf lapdesk to your laptop usb port. It has a squishy material which adjusts to your lap to make it very comfortable and easy to use. It cools the laptop which is so important since otherwise you would overheat from the heat and also it keeps the computer's hard drive from overheating. I originally bought this since i liked the name of it - cool surf. it really does its job at a great price. It also has a little storage compartment for the usb wire to fit into when not in use. I can't find anything negative about this product! recommend it highly.

It does a good job holding laptop in place so it doesn't slide around each time you change positions. I like that feature better than my previous laptop cooler. BUT....
I am disappointed by how noisy it is when on. My previous laptop cooler was SO MUCH QUIETER than this unit. I find myself unplugging it as I get very tired of noise. Would not recommend it to someone who get irritated by constant noise. If you don't care about the loud hummmm, then it is a wonderful device.

      Comments about Coolsurf Lap Desk:

      Just a little thinner and it would fit into my carry case with my laptop. If the microbead pads wear out, I might just cut them off and then it will fit. The microbead pads are designed to be of different thickness which gives the desk a slight angle on your lap. The USB cable can reach either side of the laptop. Since the desk allows good airflow to my laptop's internal fan, I can leave the fans disconnected to conserve battery power in the laptop if I need to. Doesn't have a feed-through USB connection which might be helpful for some folks.

        Like the design...wish it had a little more padding in the front. The fans are not noisy. Where the cable hooks to the laptop table it is a little loose but works ok. Overall I like the product and no longer feel the heat from my laptop which I use for hours at a time.

            What type of material is the lap pads made of? Are they real firm, or do they feel like a cushion?

              A:

              The Coolsurf Lap Desk has dual bolster microbead lap pads that conform to your lap. The pads are firmer then a soft cushion to provide superior support for your laptop.

              It does take a USB port. I suggest you get a small USB hub which will allow you to plug multiple devices into one port. They are great for travel too. I can run this and my mouse out of one port.

              I'm not sure I fully understand your question. This computer fan plugs into a laptop computer's USB port; that's how the fan is powered. One thing that is convenient about this fan is that there is a small door on the top of the fan that can be used to store the cord. Hope this helps.
